Select the quote button,
cut and paste what you want quoted in the space between the
[QUOTE.] and the [/QUOTE.]
. added to keep it from actually quoting.

Dear Nugget,
To quote attributably, click on the reply button
in the post you want to quote from.
In the address field at the top of the new page, delete the 1 at the end of the URL and press enter.
There you go
Please note that quoting an entire post is never necessary and makes a thread harder to read.

I just put colour tags around a couple of characters of a tag to stop it working. It then looks correct.
E.g.
To get:
[quote]
Put in:
[qu00000]o[/color]te]
or
[qublack]o[/color]te]
Obviously you select a colour that matches the text you are entering, so the change is invisible.
It sometimes helps if you choose to use the standard editor in your profile options, because the WYSIWYG editor hides most tags.
This works on pretty much any forum you come across that vB codes. This forum includes the [noparse] tag which stops all tags being interpreted:
E.g.
[noparse][img]http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/smile.gif[/img][/noparse]
Results in:
