Ohhhhh... ok. If you are trying to quote what someone else said, then all you have to do is hit "QUOTE" in the upper right hand corner of their post and the reply page will open with the tags already in place for you.

Not everything is immediately obvious. 
In that same corner you should see an "edit" button on your own posts, and that lets you go back to your original post and change it. If you see a box with an "X" that means that no one has posted after you and you still have the option to delete it completely. Once someone posts after you, that option goes away.
