shakey_snake Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I wish there was a better way to quote part of an article when commenting rather than manually adding [/quote ] tags...Anyone else agree? Maybe some sort of web 2.0-ish javascript "quote selected text and comment" button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted March 8, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted March 8, 2009 I use bbcodeXtra in Firefox. It seems to do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-KJ Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Yes, that would be helpful. As of now I just click on Quote, then Reply, then manually delete everything but the part I'm replying to. At times I don't feel like doing that or manually adding in tags so I just use '@ someonesnick:' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srugie Veteran Posted March 8, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 8, 2009 I think that would be a useful function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-KJ Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I was meaning quoting the actual article... Why limit it just to the article? This function would be helpful in quoting parts of a reply as well, since I find myself doing that more than the articles. It would be nice to highlight any text and click 'Quick Reply' with the highlighted text in tags.Also, is this an Opera problem only? I click on the Quote button of someones post and then click on Quick Reply button at the bottom of the page but nothing is quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sounds like it would be opera only. Opera's javascript engine is pants.Why limit it just to the article?Well, good point. If it's implemented one place i'd guess it would be relatively trivial to implement it elsewhere.But honestly I find the current quote stuff for replies adequate. I was just suggesting a different way for the article because you probably don't want the entire text of the article pasted multiple times. This would be a way to avoid that and still offer good functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
