Quote threading within posts Not sure if this can be addressed, but is it possible to add functionality to directly quote individual posts? At another forum I've used, the "quote" tag offers a parameter to quote previous posts, as in:
It's difficult to keep track of ongoing conversations without such a facility. (Never used phpBB, but maybe it has standard BBCode stuff that can be turned on/off.)Originally Posted by Louis

Thread quoting is an essential part of a forum so thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Re: Quote threading within posts Whoops! Just noticed it's actually working. Sorry.
What would be helpful is if nested quoting could be automated using the buttons above the textarea.Whoops! Just noticed it's actually working. Sorry.
Re: Quote threading within posts Okay, so what is actually needed is a "quote" button or link beneath each post, so that it's always possible to begin a threaded conversation in response to someone else. Currently it's cumbersome to do that. Seems the most obvious things are the most difficult to explain.
Re: Quote threading within posts The quoting button has been restored. It turned out to be a problem with the language pack.
