How do you make a box around the person's name your are quoting, like on this forum or most others, instead of what I have...image below

You mean, like this?

If so, use quote="username"

I did, that is the default when you check "quote" for reply...doesn't show up though.

I think it will also depend on your theme.

True, do you know what I should edit to change this/where I should look for this?

Allow BBCode must be allowed for the user or the post. Some members tends to disallow this without knowing what they doing.

It is.

the settings will be in your forum template, but it also depends on the bbcode used.

Code:

 [quote]some quoted text[/quote]

Quote:

some quoted text

Code:

 [quote="Some Name"]some quoted text[/quote]

Some Name wrote:

some quoted text

if you are still having issues open themes/YOUR_THEME/forums/bbcode.tpl and post back the code that appears between  and ... for example

Code:

<!-- BEGIN quote_open --><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center">


<tr>


<td><span class="genmed"><strong>{L_QUOTE}:</strong></span></td>


</tr>


<tr>


<td class="quote"><!-- END quote_open -->


<!-- BEGIN quote_close --></td>


</tr>


</table><!-- END quote_close -->

</tr>


<tr>


<td class="quote"><!-- END quote_username_open -->


<!-- BEGIN quote_open --><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center">


<tr>


<td><span class="genmed"><strong>{L_QUOTE}:</strong></span></td>

<td class="quote"><!-- END quote_open -->
