New feature idea - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

The quote button is cool, but we often want to quote only a portion of the post, not the whole thing.

So is there a way we could highlight the text we want to quote, then hit the quote button, and have only the selected text moved to the new post pane, instead of the entire post?

Thats pretty much how it works now DG

highlight the text you want - cut - hit quote button

...& paste between the brackets

But when you do this it doesn't say who the quote is from. I am talking about the quote button not the quote icon.

I get what you're saying, & I'm not an Admin but generally but if we haven't got it, it's not an available feature from Vbulletin - the makers of our software

You can add the posters name in manually tho...
