Delete the text you don't want [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] Just make sure you let the two [quote] tags in place.

You can break it up into paragraphs, too. Just enclose the next bit you want to quote with exactly the same two tags again.

You'll see what it looks like if you reply to this post [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

lol! the same thing kept happening to me at another board.. here you just make sure the two "[/quote]" things that appear at the beginning and end are included. then erase everything you dont want in the middle. as long as the two "[/quote]"sare included, i think it should come out properly
