Occasionally I'll see someone quoting two or more different previous posters, each quote having it's own independent box around it with the name of the person quoted. I've never been able to figure out how to do that, and I tried searching but came up empty. It's probably very simple, but the solution eludes me. Can someone tell me how to do it?
Thanks!

whatever you want to quote you put the following keystrokes on either side:
[ quote ] text to be quoted [ / quote ]
Don't put any spaces between the open and close brackets.

To nest quote tags, you should do it like this:

solution eludes me. Can someone tell me how to do it?

The above code will yield this:

You could also go to the posts you want- choose the older post and hit the "reply with quote". Then highlight that entire passage. The go back to the other post and paste the older post within it. It'll be a double quote.
The lazy man's way of double quoting.
