thank you for your reply and the additional information on the topic. However, I’m not talking about quoting someone else on the forum I’m just refering to the [quote] functionality.

Sometimes I read something on another site and just want to quickly quote from there and giving that quote a source (=author). E.g. something another person said.

So it is new content, but from someone/somewhere else. I get that a direct quote in the forum does not count as post length.

Nevertheless, just quoting works, but quoting with adding a “source” does not work anymore. This just seems weird to me.
