Okay, I need instructions on how to properly copy (quote) just a specific part of someone's reply.
Sometimes posts are long with multiple comments from different people included, and when I try to grab just the sentence that I would like to respond to, and I think I am doing it correctly, when my comment is posted, it shows the quote bubble as either empty or linked to the wrong original poster. Sometimes I am doing it right, but it doesn't do it right all of the time.
So, I think I need some help here! Thanks.

[quote author="@filpot" timestamp="1601106006" source="/post/21929/thread"][/quote] I find this topic very interesting. I can be quite good at in-person small talk, but it only works if the other persons you are around are willing to participate in small talk with a stranger. There are actually written books that discuss the fact that verbal conversation is becoming a lost and dying art. So, to me that is interesting, because you keep hearing that written conversation via letters is becoming a lost and dying art. So, if verbal conversations and written conversations are both dying out, what is left? Maybe, I am guessing that it's online communication?

I'm sorry, but I didn't quite understand what needed to be done. I think I need a list of steps, like: (1) click quote button (2) highlight the sentence that you want to comment on (3) etc (4) etc (5) last, you have to... Something like that.

Hope my previous post in this thread is helpful. ... (2) highlight the sentence that you want to comment on ... Just delete what you don't want to quote. I usually use ... or something to show it is a partial quote.
