Why Does It Quote

[Stwood_]

Click the Reply to the left of the Quote box.

Or, click Quote, the little green thingie will turn red, then hit the Big Black New Reply box thats just below the Reply-Quote-Report boxes

when replying to a quote if it is not deleted, will it still appear?

IMHO it's an admin configuration issue; the "Quote" box is supposed to enable a quote or disable a quote when the "Reply" button is clicked; either the Quote button is disabled vis-à-vis the Reply button, or the Reply button has to be configured to accept the enable/disable choice of the Quote button. The Quote button was quite clearly intended to allow the user to elect to include or exclude quotations. Should be an easy fix.
