Nice!  
Keep practicing now that you’re here.

Try quoting an entire post.  
Two ways:  
•1st way: Hit the reply arrow at the end of the post. Then click on the speech bubble at the top left of the little menu bar inside the box.  
•2nd way: Highlight the whole quote and hit the “Quote” in the floating menu that appears.  
Then remember to add a space to the end of the quote, or a hypen, so that discourse doesn’t disappear the quote on you.

Otherwise, do like you did yesterday, and just highlight the part of the quote you want to respond to.
