We used to have an option to select text and quote it in a Q&A answer before - just like we do in a forum message.
Can we have that again? I found it useful at times.

"used to". You have a great memory! We had that very briefly when we first launched but removed it.
For discussion based conversations such as the forums, yes, definitely, but I don't see it as adding a lot of value in straight "here's a question, here's an answer" QA boards like Quick Answers.

But we want(ed) that option because some new OPs posting their comments as answers(mistakenly) or comments for our answer so we need to take that as quote in our answer(which is easy to understand for OP)
Here couple of my answers with Quote Selected Text
Answer 1[^]
Answer 2[^]
Answer 3[^](Comment as Quote in answer)
Answer 3[^](Answer(It's not but mistakenly by OP) as Quote in answer)
Answer 4[^]
Answer 5[^]
BTW looks like as on today I have used Quote Selected Text manually in 70+ Q/A answers.

I do like the way you have handled the quoting is outstanding - it has made the answer very readable. However, an issue with the quote button is that the original question is at the top of the page, while the answer area can be at the very bottom.
I've been playing around a little to see if I can do something that works but I've run out of time this afternoon.

Oh oh....now I understand the issue.
Thanks for the reply to this Chris, do anything for this if possible, but No need to rush.

It is a useful feature when the questions have a number of parts.
If it can come back, it would be nice - especially for those of us who spend a good amount of time in the Q&A section - it would save us some typing.

Recently i am feeling like i am becoming addicted to codeproject. Do i get some rewards for posting answers? Not to mention the 10 points which i get whenever i answer a question.

Ah ! i see, thanks for the link.

What, that nice warm glow of altruism isn't enough?

Actually, I'm loving it!! You can check my profile how many questions i have answered. CodeProject is making me feel geeky!!

I did not downvote you but you are disualified.
Feel geeky? Feel geeky? What do you mean by that - if you are'nt one then you are not welcome here.

All we ask of you is not to give crap answers.
Many people here give crap answers to get the 10 points (my opinion). The answer they give is worthless to the OP and serves no one here now or in the future. Try not to post links unless they support your main answer and try not to post "did you Google that?".
If you don't know the answer, then leave the question alone. Be polite, even if the OP is a retard. Report all spam.

I know what you mean, but I will post answers giving the results via google, and suggesting they use it in future - normally with the text
a simple search using your question subject as the search term found... At least this way, they get a response and answer instead of silence, and get the idea that laziness is not encouraged. Without being rude, of course. Most of the time...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

If you could take a look at the answers that i have given then you would know that i haven't given answers just for the points.

You could get an MVP certificate, and a special user icon on CP.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

They are gone again. Here. I got an email about a comment to my answer, then I checked and there was no comment. I then posted a comment in reply to my own answer, and at that point I was able to see the other comment, and I then replied to that other comment. After I clicked the permalink for the question, I could no longer see any comments.
