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?
Is there a way to differentiate between “reply to post” button that is on the original post vs. “reply to post” on all the comments/responses/replies to the original post?
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 don’t need to quote the very last post as it is right there in front of you.
tbh, I don’t 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!! - I’ll just change the threshold to make it more organized.
Just from the user’s perspective, sometimes they just click on the first “reply” button they see on mobile and then they end quoting the original post which isn’t necessary
But surely that’s true for every post, not just the first one?
I really am not convinced quoting the very last post, wherever you are in the Topic, makes that much sense in any case? I would definitely set quick quote post location threshold to at least 1 as 0 is definitely wasteful of space.
