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...
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: Select all
[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:

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.
