I'm thinking of implementing a new feature for quotes.

At the moment if you hit the quote button it quotes the entire post. If I only want to quote a small section I have to manually copy and paste.

On the old forum in 2017, you could select a small section of text and it would give you option to quote ONLY that text in the reply.

This feature will be Atrium only.

Sounds good! My only concern might be in copy pasting the text with a long highlighting over everything and how it shows up, since I very frequently drag over everything and copy paste it, ideally without having to stop and separately copy paste something in a box that isn't highlighting or getting copied and pasted.

That's what it will do.

You will highlight the bit you want then press Quote Text from a drop down that automatically appears

Yeah, I'd love to see how it works, also for multiple, separate chunks of text from within a post, even multiple posts if that were possible. For now though, I'd love to see what you come up with!

That's a good shout actually.

I've just noticed that the post reply composer has no memory- if it had some memory you could select multiple quotes.
