[Closed] For all the folk that haven't got the hang of "quoting" on here

id like to know this too

You need to sort out your punctuation before worrying about complicated things like copy & paste.

Hes using the CFH Chrome Extension that randomly add's and remove's apostrophe's on any thread that CaptainFlashHeart might read. 🙂

Most phones, long press the text and normally you'll get some of the text highlighted and little arrows/dots at each end. Simply drag the first dot to the start of the text you want to copy, and drag the second dot to the end of what you want to copy.
Normally then (on Android at least) an option box will pop up with copy, cut, select all etc. Pick what you want, copy for example, then long press in the response box for that same option box. Hit paste, and then put a quote button beginning and end...

I still think my approach is less visibly jarring but also indicates that the included text is from another post. If you don't know who said it then read the thread...

Thats a special site feature that only gets unlocked if you have a 'P'. Thats why Fast Haggis has no idea how to do it.

.... If you don't know who said it then read the thread...

now that will require some detailed instructions and maybe a little prayer

tldr; but the answer is randomly hit keys while simulatenously randonly clicking the mouse buttons. that should do it.

My favourite quote is:

"The trouble with the internet is that you can never believe anything you read on it"

Can't get the hang of quoting.

Can get a quote of hanging.

All the men and women whom I have faced at that final moment, convince me that in what I have done, I have not prevented a single murder.

We all seem to be missing the fundamental question, and I quote "Is there a pre-defined quotient for the quantity of quotes that will ultimately make up our quota?"

We (I) need answers!

If you're non-P the buttons that include 'quote' are the last part of the page to load after the ads - in theres a bad script in an ad or you're on a slow connection then the buttons take a long time to appear or don't appear at all

A quotes thread without Junkyard is no quotes thread at all.

Got the hang of it now.....

Premium or non premium member - but I didn't think that mattered. Surely you just highlight the user name with the text you want to quote?
