OK I am a little dense here. I have tried to include quotes in those little boxes and cannot get the job done. I have tried hitting the quote button but the text appears without a box. Also the heading above the box will say "So and So wrote". Sorry if I am a complete doufus but I could us some help. Thanks to anyone for assisting me.

The box will not be visible when you write your post. When you click on quote it will look something like this:

If you hit quote button on the top right side of the message then it will take you to the post a reply screen.

Then you will see a bunch of text ready for you. If you start writting after [/quote] at the end, then that will work fine.

Is this a generally findable link? I looked in FAQ and elsewhere but did not find it. Am I looking in the right place or did you give out the super secret link so I will quit asking dumb questions?
