Well yyyes but that's akin to using an atom bombs to kill flies, but anyway I'll persivere persavere persziveer

I'll stick with it.

Perhaps a button that would insert the following code would help.

Code:
[/quote]


[quote]
This way they could break up a quote where there cursor is at.  And as an option, take any highlighted text, and place it between the above.   This would let someone who is not comfortable with the source mode, they could either create the space to type, or type and take the text out of the original quote.  I don't know how much control you have over buttons and functions of the board.

One other thing that I've noticed is that for me, if I'm not in source mode, and insert a link, that it tends to want to continue the link after for whatever I type.   I normally have to go into source mode, and type a little something after the url to get out of it.
