Request fulfilled Suggestion: selective quoting

Currently when I use the "quote" button, the entire post is quoted. If that post itself contains a quote, it forms kind of a ziggurat, which only clutters the thread. Or it is common that a post contains multiple paragraphs, and I want to reply only to a part of it. In both cases I need to quote the entire post (with the button) and manually cut the unwanted parts.
Other fora, such as Battle.net forum or Reddit allow you to select a part of a post, and after using the "quote" button only the selected part is quoted, not the entire post.
Teeb, would it be possible to have such a feature implemented here? It'd make replying easier and quicker, and maybe even reduce chain quoting.

not sure if thats what You mean but it works fine for me on firefox, once i highlight a piece of text a new quote button appears somewhere near it, think its even possible to mark few parts holding ctrl

just to test it, guess can also be used to take things out of context XD

Same for me, but also on FFox

Hey Trang, as mentioned above, if you select text you should see a quote button next to your cursor.

Yes, this works on Firefox at least;

I'm on Chrome. It works perfectly exactly as Teebling said.
