Greetings,
I've been seeing this in a lot of forums and I've implemented it on some of my previous ones as well. This is really convenient and removed the difficulty in quoting posts.
Quick Quote
I saw a closed thread regarding this before, and the issue was about big posts being quoted. Disallow the feature on the first post. Usually the big posts are the first ones. Or, add a maximum post length limit so the feature won't work if the post is too big.
Multi-Quote
Feature speaks for itself. It will be very convenient for OPs as well as other users to answer or reply to multiple posts at once. This will not appear in the quick reply box like how it works in other forums. After pressing the multi-quote button, pressing the reply to thread button will open the full editor. I know this was disabled and has been suggested to bring it back before and Omni denied it for database issues but I just wanted to state my opinion on how this could be. But if would create duplicates in the database wouldn't that mean that the regular quote button does the same? Or am I misinformed?
Selective Quoting
Another feature I've used in the past. All you have to do is highlight the part of the post you wanted to quote and a button appears after a couple of seconds. I added a delay before the button appears to keep it from annoying users. I know it's easy to just quote a post and delete the part you don't want, but this would be really convenient if you quote a part from a big post where deleting a wall of text is a pain.
Other ideas to improve this suggestion as well as creative criticism are welcome.
