    Quoting members in a post

    It seems to me that whenever anyone except me uses quotes in a post it says something like
    "Originally quoted by WHOEVER"
    but when I cut and paste a quote, it just says
    "Quote"
    why is that?

    Plus I see if I hit the "quote" button at the end of the post, it does it automatically!

    When I quoted you here, the code reads "QUOTE=Philly_SWAT" ... if you add the "=" and the person's name it'll read as above. Is that what you're asking?
