Because we can't! The "Reply with Quote" feature replies with everything in the quoted post. There is no way for us to strip out the photos in a quoted reply and keep only the text.
Can you create a forum specifically for "Photo Albums" and disable the Reply with Quote only there as that seems to be the area with the most prolifically annoying misuse?

Honestly, we thought this quote change would satisfy the majority of folks but it appears that may not be the case. All we ever heard was folks complaining about the long quotes within threads and the misuse of the quote function...not taking time to copy and paste leaving out the pictures, etc.

Rich and I will discuss working on the quote function so that it will work as it did before or as close as possible...but please use it sparingly and responsibly.
Thanks for your understanding....
