While posting solution to a question we can't add "Quote Selected Text", just like while we are improving the solution.
There is no button on page.
This will help to explain the solution.

I'm not sure what UI would work for this. Please see this thread[^]

Replying here for greater visibility to the peanut gallery. If the Add A Solution button opened an edit box between the question and first existing solution the quoting problem would be no worse than replying to a long post. To make quoting multiple selections somewhat easier you could also plonk the question in a scrolling container so the answerer could scroll to the top of the question while still having the edit box visible on screen.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

We could do that, but I prefer to have members be aware of, and hopefully actually read, the existing answers before firing off one of their own.

Isn't that up with hoping the questioner will consult Google first?
hmmmm....
Put the reply button at the bottom of the answers, but autoscroll to the top and open the reply box there when it's clicked?

I can see the question marks that would pop out of people's heads when they saw that little trick

In viewing the Latest Messages page, it would be nice to be able to filter on pages to see only the last 100 message for those pages. The (checkbox) filter should be smart enough to only show the pages you've posted in.
Thanks!

The "My Messages" page. It actually shows "Latest Messages" in title and browser.

Next question:
"it would be nice to be able to filter on pages to see only the last 100 message for those pages. The (checkbox) filter should be smart enough to only show the pages you've posted in"
No idea what you mean here.

I wish to see my messages for specific pages only. It would be nice if there was a drop-down, checkbox filter that allowed me to show the last x messages of only certain sites. Sometimes I'm looking for an older message outside of the Lounge and since most of my messages are in the Lounge, I have a hard time finding it.

When you say "pages" and "sites", do you mean forums? As a stop-gap solution you can go to the search page you can filter by a single forum and also choose "My stuff" which may help a little.

Pages and sites and forums, oh my! And yes, yes I did.
The search page using Everything and Just My Stuff is coming up blank.
It returns results if you don't leave the search query empty. However, sometimes you don't know what keyword to search for and you're just looking for your posts.

Use '*' as the search term. (I know - not perfect - but it's something!)

Thanks! I also just saw that in the tooltip. Is it meant to autorefresh and requery when you're changing the search options (i.e., forums) or is it supposed to wait until you click on serach? The former appears to be happening which is annoying since it refreshes too quickly for my taste.

Sadly, it only allows for one change at a time and refreshes too quickly for the second.

To say thank you for our new forum. It's long overdue, and time for us to go "hunter-killer" on them.
