Quoting only part of a post...
I figured out that you can delete the parts of the quoted post you don't want, but when you do that, then write your reply, your reply is then part of the quote, as you can see the light blue line to the left, indicating the quote, extending down through your own reply. When deleting part of the quote you don't want, there is no way to then field out of the quote to type your reply so it's not a part of it.
Wait, I think I figured it out. I was able to click on a space down and ouside of the quote area. This wouldn't work the other day, but it is today. Either they changed something, or I did something different. Interesting.

OK I'll try that.

Gabe, you are correct, it wouldn't work the other day but it does now.
Next task: The short leash on the auto-log off.

I tried the down arrow thing and that worked, too. They definitely changed something. I spent nearly twenty minutes the other day when I was trying to quote a part of another person's post to refute part of it (you might know which one I'm referring to).
At least it works now, so that makes things much easier.
I imagine they will be fixing things that no one has either brought up, or even noticed, as time goes on, along with the things people have noted.

Everything requires some polish.

Like I said on the test site, which you may have missed...
Have to arrow down all the way, or click below the quoted area.
Alternatively, you can inject the quote afterwards.
