You can quote in 2 ways:

1 - use the "Reply" button to the lower right of the post you wish to quote. This is to the right of "Link" and "+Quote" then "Reply" Using this option will automatically jump you to the reply box at the bottom of the thread, with the quote automatically inserted.

2 - use the "+Quote" button - this option allows you to to "multi-quote" which means quoting multiple posts in the same reply. It sounds like this is what you did. It puts the quote into a sort of temporary hold and you can continue reading the rest of the thread. When you are ready to reply, you will need to click in the reply box and click "Insert Quotes..." button at the bottom right of the reply box.
