Now you can try it here.

We will probably be tweaking this functionality after we use it for a bit. For one thing, I'd like to add the functionality to post text as well.

Indeed.

Is the idea that I would highlight text and then go to the far right of the screen and click the "?

That's more difficult than just copying and pasting. The quotes are too far away.

Update, you now just double-click the text you want to quote. I'll work out a mobile option.

I just used it here. Gotta say, that's pretty slick mk.

No. You don't need to highlight, you just click. It looks like I'll be changing the positioning.

No worky.

Get quotes to the right, not to the left, then nothing happens.

OS X, Safari.

My bad. I meant right. -Corrected.

I now realize that I need to make the reply box open up when the quote drops in. Can you check to see it if the quote is in the unopened reply?

If you open the reply box and click on a paragraph it works!

It does not work, however, if you open a comment to reply, rather than the top post.

Hm. I think I see what you mean. If you've already typed in the textarea, it doesn't populate. Is that what you mean? Or something else. I pushed this one too fast. Time to tweak.

I'm here because of the email I got and the quotes are not available.

mk  ·  3947 days ago  ·  link  ·  

That much should be fixed. -Thanks.

BAM

mk  ·  3948 days ago  ·  link  ·  

As per above, you now just double-click the text you want to quote.

I'll work out the other kinks.

Oh. Got it.
