Yeah, so valuable, that you can't just set aside one minute of your time? Unlikely.
What do you think abbreviations and emojis were made for?

It is so valuable.
Wait.. so you are too lazy to just copy-paste, and put quote tags around it, or quote, then remove unneeded info?

Clearly not if you keep advocating for this..
I cannot understand your words.
Advocating basically means you want to do something, and you support it.

Support. Sometimes, I make posts explaining what I think of every part of the suggestion or explaining what I think of others' ideas and it's really annoying to snip a giant post 8 times.

@R4356th, seriously!

Copy and paste. The ST could be doing other things, IMO.

And as I have said, certain parts of the website will need to be rewritten in order to make room for another right click context menu.

It feels weird to see how far we've come. I hope you're well, wherever you are!

When you copy and paste, you need to re-add all the formatting manually, which can take the same amount of time or longer!

Hurrah, we have TWO workarounds! Hopefully all of that “”“valuable”“” “”“time”“” you spent got a fulfilling answer!
Oh wait, you could also Ctrl+X the parts you want, delete the rest, and paste them back!

As well as that, the ST is using their time doing what they're supposed to, not spending hours rewriting the forums so that we can save a minute, tops.

Well, maybe it's because I'm a fast typist, but my biased self disagrees with you.

yeeeee

It's indeed true it's a bit tedious though. Semi support.

Sure, your time is so valuable that you spend all this time arguing that your time is valuable. You do this and yet you can't just copy and paste or cut out some parts of a quote. 1 minute. You can't lose 1 minute of your life copy + pasting a quote or taking words out? The ST has so many more important things to do than this. I timed it, to snip these posts it took me 20 seconds max, long posts will take about a minute. This is no time at all.

I'm afraid this suggestion has to be rejected because it is not feasible with the system we currently have set up. Closing thread.

Sadly, my forum signature was eaten by an evil kumquat.
