How do I Quote a Partial Posting?

[kmk1012]

I used to be able to highlight the sentence or words I'd like to quote, hit reply, then an "insert quotes" tab would appear. That tab has been gone a long time but I'm curious. I'd like to quote a single sentence sometimes vs an entire reply that's my only option now.

I've had that happen to me on occasion in the last month or so too. I'll keep trying and eventually it shows the "Quote/Reply".

The quote button will allow for multiple quotes. The reply button will take one response and let you reply to it. You can delete unnecessary text at this time.

I just tried to quote your first sentence, no go. My only option is to hit quote (multi quote) or reply. Both get the same results. I've fiddled with this for months and normally am pretty good at figuring these things out but the option I used to have is simply gone.

So what I did was....
Click on what part of the text I wanted to quote.....
Then a box with "+quote /reply" appeared ....
I then clicked Insert quotes ...found at bottom of the reply square...

I hope the above makes sense as I don't speak computer.

Didn't know that existed. Neat.

Thank you! I think the last update changed the format just enough to mess with me.

 

[kmk1012]

Dang, less than 10 minutes and problem solved, thanks everyone!

I've used that option fairly regularly.

I just tried to quote your first sentence, no go.

It worked for me, this time. But I tell ya', there has a been a lag a time or three in the last couple of weeks or so.

Then a box with "+quote /reply" appeared ....

No problem now though.
