    Write out quote boxes (as beneath if you've not done so before):

    [ quote ]
    [ /quote ]

    (without the spaces). Then after the inital quote put = and the name of the poster you wanted to QFA.
    so it should look like this, if I were to QFA you (minus spaces in the quote tags):

    [ quote=cl_steele ]
    QFA
    [ /quote ]

    QFA means quoted for accuracy, just a way of getting someones attention to a post or thread
