Feature Request: I'm not sure of the technical way to describe this, but:
In some forums, one of which I can think of that seems to be using the same or similar software to this one, when you are looking at someone else's posting, and you decide you want to reply to just one part of it, you can simply highlight that part of it, and this automatically brings up an option to reply, and if you click it, you are taken to the reply box with the text you highlighted, and no more apart from the original poster's name, already there.
This saves a lot of potentially messy editing if you use the normal "reply with quote" option.

Sounds good to be able to quote more easily. Just please don't override normal browser behaviour, eg. having tool-tips or menus instantly pop up everytime we double-click or highlight anything. There are many reasons I double-click on text, and 99% of the time I'm not trying to reply to a post. Thanks.

Maybe an option to be able to turn this on and off? Like smallwhite, I highlight text a lot - usually when reading as it somehow makes it a little easier for me. I wouldn't like to accidentally hit the 'reply with quote' button when just randomly highlight sections of text.
