A whole lot of stress for mobile users, but I don't see this as a very pressing issue. For anyone who prefers using the forum on mobile, it's just a matter of time before they master how to use all tools, even quoting from the same mobile without considering it a stress, just as I do most times using mobile or PC.
I disagree, even someone already familiar how to use their cellphone and this forum, but deleting few quotes, quoting signature text in code, copy-paste the text you want to post etc are still hard to do. I also experienced in click X button since there are many annoying pop up ads when I want to download something, if I make a mistake, the ads will drag me to another web.

If the forum not want to create the mobile version, at least this kind improvement can help mobile users.

Good suggestion and maybe it would be better to be able to quote the last reply only instead of the mountain of quotes we see in some threads. Currently there is a userscript that hides such quotes so you can try it as a temporary solution.

I agree, one can easily learn how to use the forum on mobile phone after giving it sometime and it won't be issue to add or remove quotes or only mention the quote that you want to answer. I personally don't use the forum on my smartphone but I believe as humans we can master anything by reputation and same will work for quoting as well.

Thus, we can have  two quote button, one for " quote single" or whatever suits it to quote just the user post and the other to quote all just they way it is including other quotes.
Find the actual post by clicking the quoted reply then quote it instead the nested quoted reply. You can alway use quote button then open it in new tab to copy or edit/snip the reply you want, and/or use the "Insert Quote" button while you are in the text editor page.

Solutions are there already, it's just the user's bad habit of posting/quoting.

but using mobile isn't that easy especially when you need to edit more and more quote and at the same time, it should be beneficial to PC users to.it can also be implemented for the insert too  to prevent inserting all quotes within a quite while editing...
Well Im a mobile user. I only use PC very frequently when I am using forum, I am more comfortable when using my mobile with a lot of stuff. Managed to used to it, even using some tools sometimes. Maybe my hands adjusted well when trying to use them.

I prefer mobile use since its comfortable with me, and I can browse forum whenever I want when I am out drinking with friends, while on the beach, sometimes when pooping still reading posts, riding a public train, and many more. (all not possible when you used PC) especially I travel a lot.

Quoting isnt that hard even using phones maybe the suggestion will ease up the problem but the current format doesnt really a problem at least to my experience.

Once you have knowledge about how to use the quote, it is very easy to use. As it is easy on desktop, so it is also easy on mobile phones. I also do not think this is necessary. Just one quote button is enough and all you need to do is to know how to quote accurately. It can be hard for newbies but as someone learn and know how to use it, it would become very easy in a way no need for any other improvement than to have new forum software.

This will stop pyramid quoting but it won’t stop those that quote the entire thread when they are replying to just a single part of that post.  

It will be better if you just make it an habit to always edit a post you quoted - because the more you do it the better you become and it won’t look that much difficult to you again. It’s obvious that this won’t get implemented as it only encourages lazy behavior so just make it something you do all the time.

Sorry but I see it as an unnecessary button or will just be adding to redundancy. The quote button is easily there to quote the particular posts and when it is clicked it will actually quote that posts only that if the post has any existing quotes it combines everything just simply go make the reader get an insight of where the discussion also coming from. So base on your question how do they separate the two quote button for it not to alike, if it becomes two. This is another example of adding button to the forum when it is not something one needs actually

The sad truth is that the forum isn't well suited for mobile phones. At least this has been said several times.

What you are suggesting will only encourage more and more pyramid quotes, which is so unpleasant. If someone is so lazy editing their posts and quotes, then they have no business or reason posting in the forum.

The quote button is generally  to quote the whole text from a user and previous quotes from others included by the user in his/her post .
Mostimes, there's always a need remove other quotes from the text, not everyone actually some  prefer to include it while some are lazy to edit anything... I do that sometimes so far it's not in form of a pyramid quote.

Thus, we can have  two quote button, one for " quote single" or whatever suits it to quote just the user post and the other to quote all just they way it is including other quotes. I know this is much more easier to do using PCs  as you can always edit easily with mouse but using mobile isn't that easy especially when you need to edit more and more quote and at the same time, it should be beneficial to PC users to.it can also be implemented for the insert too  to prevent inserting all quotes within a quite while editing...
