This is a text that I want to quote.
In order to quote myself I used this URL:
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=post;num=1239534348;quote=0;title=PostReply
The 'quote=0;' is the important part.
I usually remember the reply number of the post I want to quote. Then I 'copy url' when holding my cursor over the 'Reply' link. Paste the URL into the adress line of my browser, then I manually insert the 'quote=num;' into the URL.
A bit of extra time, and you have a quote!
BTW thanks for that tip, makes things much closer to how they used to be(TM). Now all I need to do is make a bookmarklet to do it for me--or you know, get the YaBB board fixed.

Isn't it easier to just copy the text you want to quote, click the quote button when replying, and paste the copied text between the quote symbols ?

Maybe "easier" but also a different result (although quoted images seem to highlight a bug).

Here's a bookmarklet to add a quote link to each post:
javascript:for (var i in document.links) if (/;quote=\d+;title=PostReply$/.test(document.links[i].href)) document.links[i].innerHTML = 'Quote';
