anitya You are right, a lot of people who "quote" accidentally add their own comments to the previous poster's. ProBoards is a little weak here; you have to take care. Also, quoting always keeps the last two replies; you cannot actually keep ONLY one. Best you can do is to erase the text of the earlier post.
yogibearbull do you know of any way to quote only one post if that post also includes a quote?

Well, ProBoards has its peculiarities and posters have to pay attention.
There are also differences between PC and mobile browsers.
On PC, posters replying within quote-box [by mistake] will have to click in reply area outside the quote-box to place cursor properly. A confusing aspect is that when quoting a long post, the reply area outside becomes tiny and it seems counterintuitive to click there, but that is what needs to be done.
On phone browser, reply can begin right after the last [br-eak] without introducing any spaces or line-breaks - as [br-eak] means a line-break already. But posters tend to introduce 1 or 2 line-breaks, and then we see lots of blank spaces from mobile browser posts.
There is a maximum of 3-post chain. Complications arise when replying to 2- or 3- post chains.
In replying to 2-post chain, the older post can be edited out, or keep everything and it becomes 3-post chain.
In replying to 3-post chain, the oldest post will be dropped. The middle-old post can be edited out, or keep everything and now you have a new 3-post chain.
Edit/Add: Finally in 3 tries! I had to distort [br-eak] to avoid HTML code insertion.
