Is there any way that allows users to quote selected text in quick reply form from messages when they are looking a thread?
I don't understand how to do it in MyBB. Please, don't tell me that I need to press quote and delete the text I don't want.

Thanks.

If I press this button, the whole text of message will appear in quick reply form. But I want ability to quote only selected text. This is very important when you quote big posts.

This can't be done by default you would need to find or request a plugin for this.

I tired.
Can anybody help to solve those request?

As uncontrol said

You can request one but it would be a hard plugin to make.

I suggest to use FireFox extension: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/internet/...n-firefox/

Here is the code I used to use in phpbb3
I pasted here, in hope that it will give some ideas to mybb coders

	var divarea = false;

	if (document.all)
	{
		divarea = document.all[message_name];
	}
	else
	{
		divarea = document.getElementById(message_name);
	}

	// Get text selection - not only the post content :(
	if (window.getSelection)
	{
		theSelection = window.getSelection().toString();
	}
	else if (document.getSelection)
	{
		theSelection = document.getSelection();
	}

	if (theSelection == '' || typeof theSelection == 'undefined' || theSelection == null)

		alert(LANG_L_NO_TEXT_SELECTED);
	
	}

	if (theSelection)
	{
		if (bbcodeEnabled)

			insert_text('[quote="' + username + '"]' + theSelection + '[/quote]');
		}
		else
		{
			var lines = split_lines(theSelection);
			for (i = 0; i < lines.length; i++)
			{
				insert_text('> ' + lines[i] + '\n')
			}
		}
	}

	return;
}
