Thanks, I make use of these often.
As an admin can I create a new post in between existing post to add a quote from the original topic that was not part of the split?
In other words, to add the quote needed from the original topic, it has to be put somewhere, but if there is no empty post to hold it, then it has to be put into a post that is most likely not the author of the quote. So as an admin I personally would not edit a post and add a quote by someone else just to bring the idea over, the quote should stand on it’s own so that it is understood and not be confused as being quoted by someone who did not quote it.
