Underappreciated or Unknown ResetEra QoL Functions

There are tons of things to love about this site - from the transparency of the admin team to being notified when someone quotes or "mentions" you, etc. etc. etc.

But what are some of the things that you stumbled upon that make your life easier? I'll start...

If you want to quote a part of someone's post but not the whole thing, just highlight the section you want to quote and a "Quote / Reply" box pops up. Hit Reply and it will ONLY quote the part you selected in your reply. Pretty cool!

Used to work and I loved it on mobile, now it seems... gone? Sad.

Its funny how many people were used to 10 year-old forum software of a certain forum and feel like they are in the future when using an up-to-date forum.

Did you people never visit other forums?

Long quotes get auto spoilered now.

I don't think this works well for mobile, but for PC users, this is pretty nice. :D

I never visited any other forums myself so it's all new to me.

Certainly I did but none of them had the volume of posts and replies. Plenty of forums out there with newer Xenforo and other implementations with no one posting (really necessitating that "oh, someone quoted me?" function).
So nice to have the best of both worlds now!

Sorting the threads by Start Date is pretty great when not visiting the site in a few hours.

Is there a way to block threads with certain keywords? There was a great TamperMonkey script I used on the old forum, wondering if there's something similar for this site.

Kinda glad they removed it. I triggered this accidentally more often than I'd like.
