Whenever I use the quote functionality in these forums the actual quotes are preceded by code. I don't see this happening to most others. What am I doing wrong?

You are doing nothing wrong. What you are doing different is that you

are using IE8 without compatibility mode.

Ok, now trying with compatibility mode! Let's see if it works!

This is all I see when I click on the quote icon in reply.

Browser may make a difference, as I sometimes see this with other posts. I use Firefox browser.

I suspected that at least some other people were not doing anything special and the quote icon just worked for them, but thanks for confirming. I use Internet Explorer - I wonder if there is some setting I could change in the tools menu that would fix the problem...

Oh well, it is an annoyance, that's all, and I can live with it!

On my old IE7 and now on Chrome, I have not had the code, though there is at least one other thread on similar. I seldom quote an entire post, and usually only a line, or two, so I am doing a Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V, then while highlighted, use the Block Quote icon.
