    ... how do I quote some or all, of someone else's post in my own reply? In the past I just clicked on 'Quote' and it appeared in the reply box, however, now when I try to do it, the only option I seem to have is 'Quote in Conversation'.

    Like I said, I'm sure I'm being dense, but are the old 'Quote' and the new 'Quote in Conversation' now one and the same thing? And if not, how do I just 'quote'? :dunno:

      Hi FM, if you select the text you wish to quote with your mouse (i.e click on first word then drag across with mouse button still pressed), when you release the mouse button you get a little icon pop-up saying "Quote ME!". Click on that and you have the quoted text in the reply box at the bottom. Hope that make sense.
