There was a suggestion submitted on how to improve this Board's usability. In short, when you reply to someone's post, currently you can only quote that whole post each time, then edit it manually to leave just the right sentence you want to reply to. Or, you need to do even more cumbersome manual quote edit instead.
It seems a lot more convenient and natural to select a particular sentence in a post you want to reply to, then click a button to have this sentence quoted into your reply, then reply to it. If not done, then select another sentence to reply to from the same or different user's post, click a button to quote it in your reply, ...go on until you're done.
The administration seems to like the idea, but has a concern it might not be worse the effort to implement since users don't care about this, or possibly any other forum improvement despite taking good care about their boot problems. This Poll is intended to find out, whether YOU care in general about the Board's usability. In particular, whether YOU care about the means you have to answer someone's post on this forum.
This Poll has two Quote Method choices offered to you. Please select the Quote Method above this post you'd like to use personally when replying to someone, if it were available to you. YOUR personal participation in this Poll is utmost important. Its the best guarantee that the change you want will happen.
Of course, some might prefer to use a combination of both methods if offered. When answering just a few questions (the most frequent scenario), the 1-st method may be the best. For answering multiple questions from a short post, the 2-nd method may be your choice. But remember, you need to have BOTH choices available to you to pick the right one. Currently, only one method is available - to quote the whole post. Do you want to have Selective Quote offered to you as well? Then take part in this Poll and show your choice!
