So, why exactly does [qs]

do this

but [quote]

quote:
does this?

Which is nicer? To me it appears [qs] is preferred for other people's posts, but maybe [quote] for text off a website.

Because that is what the code is written to do...

I prefer qs for replies, as you can also use qs=name to have the above result, useful in long replies to several people

You can also use peek mode on the message you are replying to and see how they coded their message.

i suspect it's supposed to be the other way around, because qs includes a way to cite, but most people (including myself) prefer qs for members here and quote for outside sources.
