As for qoutes M, hit the "quote" button on the original posters thread rather than trying to manually place quote marks. As long as you keep in the [ ] bits you can delete out what you don't need.
I hit the 'quote selected' in the 'quick reply' box at the bottom, but it always gives a heading of just 'quote'. How do you get it to put the name of the originator of the quote (as in 'Stu wrote')?
