How to use the ‘quote’ function?

[Over2U]

Could someone explain to me (again) how the +Quote function in the Forums works? When I activate ‘Quote’ for a given post, I do see a plus sign (+) appear, but nothing else seems to happen. Just how much am I missing here?

When I click the "Quote" just to the right of the Plus Sign "+" it automatically puts the information above in the New Reply box for further information, such as this sentence.

Maybe click Quote twice, as I always see the Plus Sign on Safari on my Mac?

Ah! I was clicking the + sign itself, instead of the ‘magic word’ “Quote”.

 

Thank You Michael!

If you just want to quote a portion of a post, select the portion you want. You’ll be presented with the opportunity to quote the selected portion in a new reply. 
The plus signs allow you to do a multi quote, where you include multiple posts into a single reply.
