   Great plugin, but my quotes only show at the top of the posts and not at the place within the post that I position it further down in the post. Is this just how it works or is there a way to change the placement to be visible where it is specified within the post. I use th0th's Quotes v0.96.

   Hello and thanks for using my plugin!
   I've done a small test on this issue and looks like it's a bug that haven't been noticed before. I'll check this issue and release a new version fixed ASAP.

   BTW, latest version is v0.97 :) (This bug still exists on v0.97 anyway.)

   Hi th0th - I just downloaded your plugin (thoth's Quotes) but I have no idea how exactly to use it to stick a quote into a post (like the person above described). What are the steps for doing this via your plugin? RIght now I just click on Manage Quotes and don't know what to do with this page.. I am looking to stick a quote (an excerpt of my post, let's say) in a little box somewhere in the post as HappyWithWP describes above. Thanks! schoolnuggets.com

   Hello,
   It is already explained in description of the plugin:

   You can display your quotes also in pages or posts using shortcode of the plugin. Plugin has shortcode [th0ths_quotes]. You can insert this to page or post that you want to show your quote on. By default, shortcode will work just like the widget, showing a random quote for your collection. However, you can specify the quote using parameters.

   I can help for further issues if you encounter any.

   Hi - I am actually a complete novice when it comes to using code so I generally don't know what you're talking about - sorry. What is shortcode? Do you mean sticking that [th0th_quotes] in the html view of the page? If so, at the end of the page or ?? And I have no idea how to use that shortcode to stick an actual quote in there (parameters??). Thanks in advance for any help here..

   You can find detailed information about shortcodes on this page.

   Thank you for your help - I did figure this out.. One more question.. How do I have the quote display without the owner name showing up? I am using the short code [th0ths_quotes owner=Buddha] to grab the quote I need (there is no ID option that I can see in the Edit/Add Quote section and I can't understand how to use Tag). But how can I have it now show the owner name on the post itself? Thanks!

   ALso, it is messing with the formatting of the content written right below it (I am putting the quote in the middle of a blog posting) - either changing the spacing or making a bolded line extra bold).. Any way to remedy that?

    Can you please provide a link or screenshot that demonstrates the problem?
