This is not working for me - when I edit one of my posts, the "Insert Quotes" button is not shown. I never noticed this until recently. Maybe it has always been like this, and I just never tried to add a quote in an Edit. Or am I doing something wrong?

I add quoted text pretty often when editing posts (like when the poster messed up the quote feature or quoted the wrong person). I just use Reply to give me the text that I want, cut it out of the Edit window where it shows up, then go edit the post I want and paste in the quoted text there. I do all of this with the "[ ]" BB Code icon disabled, though.

Well that works... Thanks @berkeman !
