This forum software isn’t like many other forums I’ve used, for example there doesn’t seem to be a way to quote a previous post to reply to specific details within it. Am I missing something? Something stupid too: I originally titled this thread “Forum Features”, and the software vetoed it because the “title must be at least 15 characters”! ---

Simply mark the text you want in the post you want to quote or quote a post by answering to it directly in your reply. > [@CrazyIvan](#): > > This forum software isn’t like many other forums I’ve used, for example there doesn’t seem to be a way to quote a previous post to reply to specific details within it.

(I’m used to there being a quote button rather than a context thing.) Slight difference: I usually use an iPad for this kind of thing, and I can’t see all those options in the UI, but at least I found ‘quote’. ---

Something has changed. The “reply” button below a post used to automatically quote that post but is not working now. A preview window used to appear next to the typing box. This no longer happens, nor does it happen when one uses the main Reply button at the bottom of a topic. It also seems to be too fussy about the number of characters in a post, and whether a post is too similar to a previous one, AND whether a post appears to be a correct sentence! 🤔 It also adds a line space every time one presses the return key…. ---

A quote, or not?? Nope, didn’t work. ---

> [@Boxkite](#): > > A quote, or not?? There is also the option to mark the text, and a popup comes up that allows you to quote - when you are already in the draft view for your answer, this is a way to add quotes from different posts: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/7/3/73b32a2014fbf93748e5804efb74f2ea57b266a9.png) ---

> [@Hauke](#): > > There is also the option to mark the text, and a popup comes up that allows you to quote Yes, that is still working. The other issues I mentioned are not/changed. ---
