what did you do with your fazer today ?

Is there a way to just select part of someone's post and have it as a quote, not just like this 

Sample quote

  which uses the insert quote button, yes it adds a quote box but id does not add the posters name and post date like this

The only way I have done it in the past is to use the quote button on the actual post and then delete all the extra gunph that is not needed

Not natively mate, as you say the easiest way to do it is to manually manipulate the code. Possibly an add on that would allow it though but I have never looked
