Somebody needs to come out with a "Dummies for Forums". I'd be the first buyer. Sorry if this is a silly question (I am NOT computer savvy), but how do you put a quote in a post? I can get the entire post, but not a certain section.

You need to copy the part of the text you want to quote and paste it into the message with the tags around it.
So (without spaces) it should appear like this in your message before you post it.
[ quote ]This is a quote[ /quote ]
And when you post it will look like this

Quote:

This is a quote

Or just click the 'quote' button and then delete the parts of the quoted post you don't want.

If you want to add the name of the person you're quoting your first quote tag should look like this) minus spaces.
[ quote=NameOfPersonYou'reQuotingHere ] The last quote tag stays the same.
So when you post it...

Quote:

See the name (well ok, it's a sentence in this example

) above?
