I have no idea where to ask this forum question?

I like to copy a person's post and put it in my post and then comment on what they have said.  I used to do it all the time on the old forum. Does anyone know if we can do this anymore.  It is probably something very simple, but too complicated for me to figure out how to do it. Help????

If you are on a computer, click on the REPLY button, and then the word QUOTE will appear in capital letters (bolded) on the right hand side.  Then you can click on quote to respond to a specific post.

BUT if you are on an iPad, as I am right now, you won't have that option. So much for making the forum iPad friendly!

Oh my gosh, thank you soooo much, that was so easy.  It is just knowing what to do.  I hope your answers will help others that have been wondering if this was even an option anymore.  So thank you again.  I really appreciate it.

But pad users can copy someone's post and quote it this way, as I just did.

So other tablets can quote, but just not iPads?
