Don’t see if mentioned in search, but I noticed there is no longer a menu option to reply via private message.
Unsure of what changed, but would like to re-enable this functionality if possible.

I too would like this to be returned. I sometimes used it to PM users about their posts.

I’ve just re-read the topic linked to above. The topic was closed so clearly this isn’t going to change. A partial solution is here: Strange behaviour when creating new Topic from linked Post - #34 by sam

hello everyone,
i will dearly miss the possibility to directly reply in am PM with a quote.
i am using discourse heavily in a number of university online courses with up to 150 persons - here the students do their written assignments and i use the option for a PM in order to give individual feedback to the students (in addition to public feedback within the topic)
hope to see this feature back : )
All these use cases are covered by the Message button in users cards.
If you wanted to send a PM to a user, with a quote to something they said in a public topic:
In the post that contains the text you want to quote, click on the user’s username, and then click on the Message button:
The composer for the PM will open in the public topic, so you can highlight the text to quote as you would normally:
