This is how you should do yours:

QUOTE=$originalposter] [s]$postinfo[postid][/s]{$pagetext}[QUOTE

That should give you 'Originally Posted by username' and then the arrow on the right of it.

If you're after one like my site has, that quotes post numbers and all sorts, then you need a whole replacement for the newreply_quote template and two more pieces of BBCode.

Create this BBcode:
Title: Postlink
Tag: p
Replacement:

post <a href="http://www.yourforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p={param}" target="_blank">{param}</a>

Then create this BBcode (this one covers PMs):
Title: SnapbackPM
Tag: x
Replacement:

<a href="http://www.yourforum.com/forum/private.php?do=showpm&pmid={param}" target="_blank"><img class="inlineimg" src="http://www.yourforum.com/forum/snap.gif" border="0" alt="View Quoted Message"></a>

Then finally, to make the text read right in PMs:
Title: PMlink
Tag: m
Replacement:

message {param}

I have made the above display PM ID numbers without a link, as you obviously cannot view other people's PMs!

Then change your new reply template to this:

quote][s]$postinfo[postid][/s] In [p]$postinfo[postid][/p][m]$pm[pmid][/m] $originalposter said:
{$pagetext}
[/quote

I think I've covered everything here.

As you can see, it starts to get a bit messy to cover all eventualities, and you end up with rather a lot of BBCode in your new message window when quoting. However, as you can see on my site, the end result is good.

I am sure some expert coder could come up with a cleaner way of achieving this though.

Obviously in the above examples you'll need to put the "[" bracket and the "]" bracket back on the tags.
