Tom. I'm sure this question is answered somewhere in this thread, but could you bring me up to speed? How do I isolate a comment from a previous post and include in one I am doing? The option is very helpful being able to focus a reply to a specific comment. I see there is a quotes option, I just don't know how to use it without screwing something up Great forum. It seems that sometimes things kind of get out of hand, but we need to take it for what it's worth.

I'll answer if you don't mind. Click "quote" instead of "reply", then highlight the text you want quoted and click "Quote Selected Text". Hint, you can always click "Preview" before "Submit" to make sure your post will show up as you intend.

Could probably get rid of the quote button and show the quote options when someone clicks reply to a post.

Or just allow "select text to quote" before hitting the reply button.
