Maybe I just don't know the easy way to do it, but when I want to quote another thread using a mobile (Chrome on IOS), you have to activate the select tool, get the endpoints just right (not that easy), hit copy, then hit the quote button, then put it in the box. No line breaks show up correctly unless you past the text in the reply box first, then reselect it all and hit the quote button.

SOMETIMES it will take the selection that is in your clipboard pushing the quote button will automatically insert it into the window, but it seems like this is about 5% of the time (and I can't figure out the magic thing making it do it).

On top of all this, I can usually only get the text selection tool to work once per post. If I want to repeat the process with another bit of text, I have to reload the page.

Am I missing an easier way, or does it seem like to anyone else that there should BE an easier way?

Same. Definitely a better experience when this happens but it seems random.
