Hi,

I see everyone is quoting away. But when I start a new answer all the quote symbols disappear from the previous answers in the thread. How do i do this?

That's for a purpose - we don't want too many nested quotes as way too often people quote everything without paying attention to what they quote. You can insert nested quotes manually, using [noparse][/noparse] tags.
 
Click the "quote" buttons instead of "new reply" if you want to reply to a specific post. You can quote multiple posts with the speech bubble "M" next to the quote button.

Alternatively, the advanced version: Type quote tags manually.
