greenhorn, if the entire post is to be quoted, you can rather provide a link to the actual post, which is embedded in the post's number on top right of th quote. Generally on fora, it is customary to embed this link in the poster's name if there is a quote.
If there is a long post you would like to rebut point by point, you can use a simple trick. The visual effects of a quote are provided in the programming using the following pattern. I am embedding spaces between each character of the pattern to avoid triggering processing of the pattern.
Begin quote, specifying who quoted: [ ^ ^ quote=author ^ ^ ] (this appears on a new line)
then copy /paste relevant portion of the post you want quoted
end quote with this pattern [ ^ ^ / quote ^ ^ ]
You would probably have figured it out based on how the quoted text appears in the composition text box.
I agree threaded mode is missing from the features. I consider their utility only marginal, as the context is available in the thread itself, and additional references can be given through links where required. So it is not a blocking issue.
It is still a point on which to gherao Banwari in the National meet, though
