Pls can there be a way to "quote" other posts?

[BEAUTlFUL]

Hard to describe... But on other (lesser!) messageboards, you can cut/paste other posts into your post and they appear in different formatting.

Doesn't have to be fancy-schmancy -- one messageboard just allows you to insert a > before the text, and it indents all of it.

It makes it MUCH EASIER to see immediately that you're quoting someone else's words.

It really helps when you want to respond to a previous post, even just 2 or 3 lines of it.

Thank you

I meant you put the hat symbol

this
before and after the chunk you wanted to italicise.

i really hate it when someone quotes one of my posts back to me. i know what i said!

No, no and no.

sea i really hate it when someone quotes one of my posts back to me.

Do you hate it when people bold your name too?

LOL TrillianAstra - I often bold names :)
(sorry if you hate that)

Not having a button means that you have to think about which bit you want to c&p and encourages people to restrict it to just the relevant part of a post

my lord, so it does. I hadn't realised they'd fixed it.... why haven't they fixed the strikethrough then? That's definitely still word by word

I didn't know you could do this!

does this work too?

OMG!

I might be ok now that I can italicise bits of copy or maybe even go for something dramatcally different.

Glad to see you are happy now, Beautiful.

It doesn't take much!
