9 - When "quoting" another users comments and responding to them, please only copy the text you are referring to. You do not have to quote the whole post. This is to save on bandwidth and server storage costs.

This is a good idea........but what are the steps involved with doing this.
I've tried a few times but cannot get the text I copied to show up with that box around it. I'm obviuosly doing it wrong.

Well, press the 'quote' button on the post that you want to quote from, then delete the parts that you won't be referring to. Make sure you don't delete either [quote] or [ /quote], though! Otherwise it won't be recognized as a quote.

Oh yeah, and I guess it's best not to take the person's quote out of context.

No disrespect intended. I hope you didn't take that the wrong way.
