Trying to figure out Quotes. Failed miserably.

I want to "Quote" 2 sentences out of a 4 paragraph post. I just cannot figure it out.

Please Help.

Thank You.
 
I am on my phone so its probably different for a laptop, but all I need to do is highlight the text I want to quote, and a little bubble pops underneath it that says "quote" . I press that and it appears in the reply.

The other way is to use the " in the top menu of the reply box ( you might need to click the three dots to get that option) it wont tag the person you quoted but it will make a quote box.
 
Click on Reply. That will quote it. Then delete the parts you don't need.

It's not different for a laptop but I never knew this until now. It makes multiquote a whole lot easier!! Cheers.

Like November said. Highlight the text you want to quote, hover over it, click the +quote pop-up. Go to the next bit of text and repeat. Then go down to the reply box and there should be a button at the bottom left that says Insert Quotes. Click that and it puts all of the quoted text into the reply box.

How do you highlight the text? I am on an Android and it just does not highlight no matter what i try.

I hold my finger down on the word I want to highlight and that seems to work. Hold and drag to cover more text. Hopefully it works for you too! Otherwise, Im outta ideas 😔
 
I normally highlight what I want deleted and delete it with the touch of a button, takes me a couple of seconds or so. But it sounds to me like you're unable to highlight anything anyway.

Yeah.....highlighting is an issue. Sometimes it just does nor work at all and sometimes it highlights whole paragraphs. It's probably operator headspace and timing.
