    Default 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:

    that's a great idea, I thought thread quoting was built in but I guess this theme took it out.. I'll look into it and try and get it going.

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

    What would be helpful is if nested quoting could be automated using the buttons above the textarea.

    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.

    The quoting button has been restored. It turned out to be a problem with the language pack.
