Alan, please don't change the quote function back to what it was. It's been a pleasure to read threads without encountering the duplicate strings of photos with a mere "thanks" for the original comment; or, similar misuses.
I, too, liked the "reply with quote" feature but used it as it was intended. I will gladly accept the additional few seconds it takes to copy and paste to be rid of the abuse wrought by misuse of the "reply with quote" feature.
Haven't the past few days provided a better forum experience without the "reply with quote" feature? Has any meaningful content been lost or missed due to the feature's absence.
