quoting comments on MSE

I can't find the answer to this via the forums or on f and q/contact us links, so how do you quote a reply from someone on here via a smartphone or can't it be done? If it can, should you be using the site through a specific browser?
Thanks.

    I just click "Quote" on my phone browser and its a goer.

    Even on older, less able browsers, it was simply a matter of copy and pasting the text concerned then topping and tailing it with BB-code quote tags manually, which works just as well.

    You are missing a " ] " on the first QUOTE but otherwise that's bang-on. :)

    I don't know about this board but some just need you to enter just the letter Q

    [Q] Test [/Q]

    but not this one. :(

    My copy and paste mistake. Don't worry, I'll get the hang of it by Christmas.��

    The mobile site is a disaster and nobody can be bothered to fix it. Basically the quote function is broken. Try pressing the little '+' icon at the bottom right of the post to be quoted, then long press on "quote" and open in new tab. it should work then.

    It's the same procedure if you need to edit a post to.
