It's that button on the right side of that person's post that says "Quote".  Click on that.

Once you do what jlued said, you'll see the entire post wrapped in quote tags:

[quote]
blah
blah
blah[/quote]


You can delete the irrelevant parts of "blah blah blah" -- but be sure to leave the quote tags intact.

Strange, that seems to be right, but I can't see the white space either.

OK, here's what you do things manually:

1. Select the text you want to quote with mouse.
2. Copy the text (control + C)


3. type this opening tag-->    [quote]
4. Paste your text (control + V)
5. then, to mark the end of the quote, type this-->[/quote]


6. Press "preview"
7. If there are errors, fix them, then "preview" again (previewing is faster than posting and then editing a post)

HINTS: Always remember to close a tag with a forward slash " / " as in


[quote] blah blah blah[/quote] -- quote
[b] blah [/b]  -- bold
