Name included with quote?

How do I include the name of a person that I am quoting when replying to a thread? I know this is an easy one ,but I can't figure it out.

Press the "quote" button instead of "post reply". It's in the bottom right corner of each post (next to report and edit).

I typed in all the vB Code stuff for quotes, italics, bold, etc. for months before I noticed the <quote> button.

If I had any class, I might be embarrassed to admit that.

It's been over two months and I have been waiting for someone else to ask. I thought I was the only one that couldn't figure it out. At least I feel better now knowing there was someone else. lol

Uploading the pic to a website is what I didn't know.

There are two methods...use the attach file's browse button to attach the picture file (as long as its less than 256 Kb), or to just display it, you need to have the web URL for the image and format it like this:
[img]http://this.web.address/filename.ext[/img]

Thanks KT. I'll try it after I get home from work.

Use WS_FTP LE to upload pics to your web space.

Once you do that, you can use KT's method or just use the "IMG" button right above the message text entry window.
