Highlight the post, then quote.

Unless you mean something else.

i've tried this, it gets the words, but not the formatting.

TC is talking about multiple nested quotes in a post, not just one. like someone quotes someone else and then you quote the second person, only instead of your message showing only the second person's quote like it currently does, it shows both their quote and the first person's quote, like it used to.
Oh instead of the jumbled mess we have now

Manual editing for formatting.

Why did they remove that feature? Makes no sense.

"I could care less" means you care right now.
The proper phrase is "I couldn't care less."

Probably because it significantly increased page-loading times (server-side scripting).

5, iirc.

the only constant of modern web development is change for the sake of change, which takes away features the users actually like for no reason. i don't know why, but it's an undeniable pattern.

Yeah and it made quoting 2 different users feel organic too. Now only one user is highlighted while everyone else in a nested quote is just standard text formatting.

Probably as a means to cut down on disruptive posting or spamming the same agreeable quote all the time. ie. no fun
