I’d like the option to see the quote you’re replying to. This makes conversations more interesting to read, as you know what someone is responding to. We now have a reply button, but I’d prefer a Quote button.
You can always mention someone if you want to reply without quoting that person.
Agreed. It’s sometimes hard to notice when a post is replying to a specific one as opposed to being a general one for the thread. Quotes would help immensely.
The part of Discourse DNA is to focus on flat discussion without threading. I saw a lot of discussions on their forums about it, some good points and some bad.
And I get it, on desktop is easier to make quote, on mobile devices can be tricky.
There are some solutions, but they are not part of the core code and can break often.
So, let’s keep this issue open and see what can be done.
