Feature Req: quote only selected text?
MilesAhead:
On a lot of boards if you select a portion of the text in a post you are replying to, only the selected text is included when you hit the Quote button to reply. Would be a nice convenience if it's doable.

It works in the Quick Reply. Highlight some text and click the "Quote" link. You should see it down in the Quick Reply box. In fact, you can keep selecting new text and clicking Quote each time to build out your quoted text. Once you have all you wanted quoted, you can reply right there or click the Preview button to form your reply in the full reply page.

+10 for that in the "quote" mechanism. (I'll come around the other 9 times later on.)
MilesAhead:
Thanks for the replies and info. :)

As a follow-up, this no longer seems to work. Tried it in both Chrome and Firefox. Also when I do a Quote it seems all I can get is Quick Reply. I don't see any button to switch to Advanced mode.
