[quote=reply issues] without adding additional text

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.
