how are people quoting on forums. I can quote someone but the bold text says "quote" but others are quoting with "Everette wrote:". or how are people layering the quotes where several quotes that have been "quoted" will list each quote with the name with the quote I seem to be the only one who cant figure this out?

Yes, it's better to use the button when you are responding to a post if you want text included.

Hitting give you a nice block of text like this
Code: [quote="EverettB"]Text I am responding to[/quote]
then write under the text like this
Code: [quote="EverettB"]Text I am responding to[/quote]
My super smart answer
to get something like this when you post your message:

I edited my post above so it looks more like what you actually see with
Code: [quote="EverettB"]
instead of
Code: [quote]
