1. Click the reply button inside their post
2. Look at the address bar at the top of your screen. It will start with www.pprune etc and will finish with noquote=1
3. Change the 1 to 0, press go.

Must confess I wasn't aware of that, but bear in mind that will quote the whole of their post. If you want to quote only a selection you will have to amend the resulting copy.
Alternatively, you can select and copy (Ctrl-C) the part of the post you want to quote, click on the Quote button in the menu that appears when you click Reply (the last one on the right that looks like a page of writing) place the cursor between the brackets and paste (Ctrl-V).
That doesn't read as simply as it should, but try it, it is easy.

If you want to state who made the quote you are quoting, where you see [quote], before the closing square bracket type =name.
e.g.
One can have fun with these functions but they are also dangerous; I once had someone use my name as the quoter when it was actually another person!

SSK above has got it pretty much right. To quote someone, including their PPRuNe name, etc :
1. Click "Reply" in their original post.
2. When it comes back with a blank screen and a url in the address line at the top of the screen ending Noquote=1, just click at the end of the line and backspace over the digit 1. You don't need to replace it with 0 or anything, just leave the line ending Noquote=
3. Press return.
This then does what the "Reply" icon used to do on PPRuNe up to about a year ago when it got changed.

If you are posting on the US hamsterwheel thread and if you are part of the antogonistic right wing cabal which inhabits that space, then the answer would be " as inaccurately as possible so as to twist the meaning of the original post"

Quoting is easy:
Just write the word quote in rectangular brackets like this:
then write the text (or copy and paste the text) you want to quote and when you are finished with that text, write a slash quote like this:
.
The whole will look like this:
Just write the word quote in rectangular brackets like this:
Code:
[quote ]
Code:
[/quote ]
The whole will look like this:
Code:
[quote ]Text to quote[/quote ] *Do not write the space before the closing "]". This is done in the example only because otherwise it would be interpreted as a quote right away.

2 worked so I tried a delete, ie just removed the 1, that worked too.
