No mini quote that I find. If it's a quote that's not too large, like above, hit the quote button at the bottom of the post, open a reply window, and then edit out what you don't want. (It will automatically be placed it into the reply text window for you to edit.) Be sure to keep the brackets and the quote /quote words inside.

You can also run your cursor over the part that you want, highlighting it, then copy and paste it into your reply window. (To highlight with a mouse, place the blinking cursor at the front of what you wish to quote, and then click and hold down the left mouse button moving it over the text you want. )

After you have only the text you wish... you have 2 options of making it look like the quote it is:

Up top with the font, size, color, etc choices you'll see this that will place quotes around your highlighted text.

OR You can also manually add those quote words and brackets (shown here with spaces [ quote ] text here [ /quote ] .

Or, you can do all this directly; you can manually type what quote you want, and type the quotes brackets around it.

Let me know if you need hand holding on this... it's worth knowing how


PS You still have to make a reply of your own, at least 10 letters worth, for the server to accept it.
