Bug when making a quote
The discussion revolves around a perceived bug in Discourse where a full quote disappears when a user quotes someone and adds a comment underneath, leaving only the added comment. Yu_Gong1 reported this issue and provided an image to illustrate the problem.
However, CvX clarified that this is an expected default behavior, which can be changed by an admin in the settings. Yu_Gong1 expressed confusion about the purpose of this feature, wondering why the quote would be removed.
Falco provided a link to the feature definition, which explains the reasoning behind removing full quotes from direct replies. codinghorror further elaborated that quoting the entire post directly above is considered bad form, adding unnecessary duplication to the stream and noise for future readers. This rule does not apply to partial quotes.
Hi,
I have a discourse hosted with enterprise plan. Our community member found a strange bug, If you quote someone and write something underneath it and post it. The quote disappears and only the added comment is posted.
It also seems like it is removed afterwards and the “post has been edited button appears.”
This can be reproduced everytime. Our discourse is located here: https://keskustelut.inderes.fi/
Oh ok! hows this feature thought to serve the purpose :D? like whats the idea behind this? If someone wants to quote and write something why would the quote be removed :D? Everyone in our team thought it was a bug xD

Yes, it is considered bad form to quote the entire post directly above yours.. why add that duplication to the stream.. it’s noise for all future readers.
