Adding quotes to text

I know this is a really simple thing, but how do I add quotes to my text body AND be able to site who said the original quote. Simply putting quote tags around text doesn't attribute the words to their original author. What would I have to do to get my quote to say "Originally posted by whoever"?
Thanks!

If I'm understanding the question, you just need to click the Quote button on the post you want to quote and it should take care of that.

You're right, I'm just having trouble adding quotes so people will know who said the quote. I feel like the button to click is right in front of me and I just don't see it.

I got it now. I just need to click the quote button at the bottom of someone's post rather than wait for the reply box to do it. Thanks!

Dan,
You need to fix your signature; sent you a private message; look at the top right of the page.

It took me ages to figure this out; I was to chicken to ask.
