AI Thread Summary
In edit mode, the "Insert Quotes" option is unavailable after a reply is made. Users can add quotes manually, but this method loses the original poster's information. An alternative is to copy quotes from the edit window of a new reply, which retains the entire quote banner. This method is confirmed to be effective for including complete quote details. The discussion highlights the limitations of the editing feature and suggests practical workarounds.

Edit. Never mind, the second route is the best way. For some reason I thought it was only copying the text in the quote, but it does indeed copy the whole banner as well.

Thanks for pointing that out to me.
