A question about quoting on Gransnet

I wonder if it's possible to quote just part someone's post, rather than all of it. Sometimes I'd like to respond to something that someone has said but have to quote the whole lot 🤔.
Many thanks.

but I don't know how to get the inverted 'v' sign on my phone

I didn't either, but I think I've worked it out.

I double checked, my phone is on desktop mode. I much prefer it, so easy to use. I am PC girl, so I'm used to that interface.

I'm just trying this out on a Pixel phone. Checking this shows up as a quote in italics and that this bit will be underlined

Hmm, no quotation marks, will try again "checking for quotation marks".

That was on my iPad. )
I did it👏🏻 I always knew how to get copy up but I didn’t know you just put your finger in the message box and paste comes up,

I never realised everyone didn’t use the copy and paste method I always imagined everyone was light years ahead of me in the tech department 🤣
