Sometimes, the quote feature doesn't work as intended. I can't remember which posts it happened to, but if one looks around it shouldn't be too hard to find...
| Quote: | | It should look like this |
[qutoe]Not this![/qutoe]
(quote intentionally misspelled to demonstrate problem) |

This is pretty simple. The fact of the matter being you need a proper quote tag at the end of a quote in order for the forum to register it as an actual quote.
An example:
rather than:
| Code: | | [quote][quote][quote] |
All closing quote tags need a "/" in order to successfully designate the selected text.
It can also happen if a person inserts quote tags manually and forgets to depress the quote button... the forum automatically adds a "[/quote]" to the bottom of all posts if it's only been pressed once. |

As well, if they improperly use quotes in names, it will not work.
Ex:
[quote="I am kazer0]Hi[/quote] |

Beside missquoting quote text, perhaps one reason why the quote does not work is that the poster accidentally ticked the "Disable BBCode in this post" box.
