Would it be possible to have it quote the beginning of the post rather than the end, or is this just default discourse behavior?

if you increase the quoted character limit setting to some huge number you will get everything. If that setting falls below the total length, it will crop from the beginning, so you lose the start.
The last part is chosen because thatās how you move between participants.
It would be possible to change this and add a setting to control it Iām sure.

Hi, a couple of questions/suggestions on features to be added:
- user preference option: ability for each user to enable/disable according to its personal preference
- an extension of the above, ability to choose quick quote in mobile-only (desktop is often less problematic)

Iāll double check but Iām not convinced this is possible in a TC, only a plugin.

This is a good idea, but remember on desktop you can simply use the quote tool.

For some reason my forum system is removing the quotes and leaving the reply messages without the quote, do you know why this happens and how to fix it?

Havenāt looked at this in ā¦ 2.5 years.
Iāll take a look and see if this is working as expected tomorrow if I have a moment š

That looks a little like the āAutomatically removed quote of whole previous postā function rather than this theme component?
If so, that can be turned off via the `remove full quote` admin setting.

I donāt allow quoting whole post and still automatic one works. But Iām limiting quoted post, can it mean something?

Seems to be working, miraculously, after nearly ~2.5 years of no maintenance?! Appears so!
So currently agree with @JammyDodger ā¦ I donāt think this is your issue @danielabc

Is there a way to differentiate between āreply to postā button that is on the original post vs. āreply to postā on all the comments/responses/replies to the original post?

OK so that makes sense.

No, hence partly why `quick quote post location threshold` is normally 3 I believe.
A quick workaround would be to set that to at least 1 which would block the last (and first post). The assumption is you donāt need to quote the very last post as it is right there in front of you.
tbh, I donāt quite understand why you are making a special case of the first post?
What is the real functional difference between always quoting and always quoting except the OP?

I see, thanks!! - Iāll just change the threshold to make it more organized.

Just from the userās perspective, sometimes they just click on the first āreplyā button they see on mobile and then they end quoting the original post which isnāt necessary
