See, now you can highlight what you want to quote and click the little quote+. Then hit "insert quotes" in the quick reply at the bottom.

Isn't it so much better now?
This feature was available for a short while with a default Xenforo theme, but not with the RPGCodex one.

Will the functionality be restored?

The "insert quotes" button is still there, but it is doing nothing as of now.

Currently there are only two ways to quote something: either do it manually with copy-pasting relevant text and use BB codes, or hit Reply and edit out everything else. Both are extremely cumbersome.

To be clear, you are advocating to make it easier to respond to someone out of context?

How about no.

Sometime in this decade when DU feels like bringing all the templates up to date.

I realized that so I took matters into my own hands by making sure that someone else does it!
