How does one create the little TM to put after important proper names like Real Life (little TM)? (i.e. the first symbol Jahlove practises 4 or 5 posts up from this one)?

It's one of a large number of special characters which are inserted with code of the form &xxxx; where xxxx is replaced by either a number or word denoting the symbol. For ™ replace 'xxxx' with 'trade' ... there are plenty of sites on the net that will give you a full list of available characters (just search on "HTML special characters").

Thank you, Mad Scientist Cresswell.
(this is supposed to be a quote, for practice)
Im trying to do a quote in bold without having to type the lot into the little box which says 'enter the text you want to make bold' . I cant 'paste' the bold text into the box as the box covers the edit on the toolbar. So what is happening is that when I post and want to quote somebody it's always coming out in non bold text which is not very helpful in differentiating what somebody else is saying and what I'm saying. As above quote

You can quote quite simply by using the code. You type the word QUOTE in square brackets before the text you want to quote, then /QUOTE in square brackets afterwards. The square brackets are the ones that look like this [ ] on your keyboard.
The other alternative is to click on the quote icon in the row of little pictures which will appear above my post here. The quote icon is the one that looks like quotation marks "" (Quite appropriate really!) and then the whole post will appear ready to quote. You can see there, too, how the coding tags work.

I don't know whether I should really be posting this in Hell. But having been directed to this thread by jlg in Ecclesiantics, to practise doing 'nested quotes' I find 22 pages mostly of one-line geekish posts of dubious relevance.
Where in all this do I find instructions on quoting 'nested quotes'?
Why, if I copy someone else's post in order to reply to it in context, does the system seemingly lose all the quote attributions?
Life's too short!
Why can't there be, rather than a thread like this, a handy 'dos and donts' page on technicalities?

You were sent here to practice doing nested quotes. You will notice that this is the UBB practice thread. That's what all of those people were doing in their one-line geekish posts. If you are having trouble getting your quotes to come out right, this is a thread where you can practice with UBB code, or ask for help.
quote:

There are no instructions for doing nested quotes. They work the same as non-nested quotes. For each "layer", you need an opening [quote ]tag and a closing [/quote ] tag. When you are composing your post, it should look like the following.
code:
[QUOTE]This is what you said.
[QUOTE]This is what she said.[/QUOTE]
This is what you said about what she said.[/QUOTE]
And this is what I have to say about it all.
Then, when you post it, it will look like the following.
----- Example -----
quote:
This is what you said.
quote:
This is what she said.
This is what you said about what she said.
And this is what I have to say about it all.

Thanks very much Scot, and apologies for the whining! It must be the weather. But I still can't understand why the codes don't copy along with the text.

Overly soberly -- the quotes problem arises when you start interspersing things among the quoted bits, or not copying the entire multi-nested quote for requoting. Then the balanced tags often get unbalanced, and you have to manually edit them back into balance.
On the weather front: Scot can't make rain actually disappear though -- he just transported it here.

Well this autumn so far has been more like California than Alaska. But according to the Daily Express we're in for a bitter winter (like the one we - didn't - have last year).
