Quick Guide • Extension operation

When you select a text fragment of any forum message, a small menu appears that gives you the option to save that text as a quote, to be used later, or reply directly to that fragment.
When saving a quote, the corresponding button will appear at the bottom of the page or in the text editor (depending on the established configuration). This button gives access to the dialog that shows all saved quotes and allows you to insert them in the editor, either one at a time or all together.

  1. Quotes can be used both in forum messages and in private messages to other users.
  2. Quotes are deleted once inserted in the message, so as not to generate an endless list.
