Post Insta-Quote?
This isn't a very big deal, but I thought I might mention it.

The older forum version had a way that you could be browsing the forums while not logged in, and when you found a post interesting and wanted to cite it, you could hit "quote," log in, and start responding to the post. Now that option is missing, so if you find you want to quote someone you have to go to the top and hot "reply," log in, and then respond without having the perk of the person's quote already inserted into your post. The only other option is to log in, re-find the post, and then hit quote.

Any chance of re-introducing the direct quote before one longs in?

Again, its not a very big deal, just something small I noticed since being back.

Why not just stay logged in?

If you copy the post with CTRL C and then hit "post reply" within that thread, it will ask you to log in and then take you to the reply screen where you can just paste the post you copied and throw quote tags around it.

Otherwise, it's probably like the Quick reply...not gonna come back (if at all) until an updated board.

Quick Reply may make a comeback over the summer (although it will likely only be on the default style), but this quote issue is something that is a bit beyond my power to fix. This is simply a board change between 2.0 and 3.0, sorry Dolce.
