I'm trying to get my head round a pretty simple function of the forum.

I see people quoting parts of other posts and would like to do the same in some of my replies.
I can see that above the section I am writing this post in there is a quote button but not sure how it works. Before or after I copy the text or maybe both?
Tried looking at the help section and watching various YT vids but would rather ask here than start posting total nonsense.

can you quote images?

I want to be able to put a quote within a quote. Then I want to quote that. Then someone else can quote that and so on until we create a portal out of the internet.

I think we've extracted as much fun from this as possible. 🙄
