Result above.

That’s the show quote in reply button. Replies are not quoting the replied message by default so by clicking the quote button it will be more obvious for readers to know to what you have replied to.

</div>

When creating a new topic you can navigate to an existing topic and click that button to quote it. You’re right that it only functions in certain situations, it’s pretty rarely used for new topics.

The button is not useful when creating a new topic, It does not work.

For answer only 🤔

It _does_ work, but only if you’re creating a new topic while viewing another topic.

To hide it with CSS:

```css
#reply-control.topic {
  .d-editor-button-bar {
    .quote {
      display: none;
    }
  }
}

```
