I often see another person's quote in a blue box on different posts. How do I go about posting a quote from another post?

No, he wants to take a quote from one thread and use it in another thread. Its easy enough to do:
- click the quote button from the thread you want.
- highlight it and use ctl X or right click and select the cut option
- then open a reply in the other thread and paste it in with ctl V or right click and select the paste option
- type your reply.

No, if you remove the parenthesis and the words "quote" you lose the blue box.
Quoted text must begin with the word "quote" in brackets, and end with a bracket, slash, quote and bracket. The brackets and the word quote tells the software what to quote. Everything between the beginning and ending brackets (the ending one being the one with the slash) gets quoted.

And if you want a clickable icon to the post that the quoted text came from, you add the post ID to the User Name after a semicolon (you can get that number from the Permalink link)

There are lots of 'commands' you can put in brackets, just make sure you have that "/" at the beginning of the ending bracket to signify and end to the command.
One of them is [noparse] [noparse] and [/noparse] [/noparse] which makes it possible to type things in brackets and have them show as text instead of being parsed as a command. And [noparse] bold text [/noparse] gives you bold text. You can use the WYSIWYG controls on the text editor, or you can use the commands directly.
