Apologies I may have asked this before!
So how does the quote option actually work, I click on it but nothing seems to happen?

Not that I'm an expert but it enables you to quote a post or part thereof in another thread. Press the quote button on your chosen post, then go to make a new post elsewhere and you will see a note at the bottom of the posting box saying something like 'you have selected a post to quote press here to include it'. I'm paraphrasing here. So you tap the notice and the quote appears in your new post.

What's not right Danny? If in doubt ask The Boss, I merely fumble around and am no good with the technicalities

If you Hit "Reply" after the post you want to quote, it includes the post in your post.

Yet again life is to short  . Basically a quote & a reply does the same thing.
No, I don’t know why they’re both available, before you ask.
