My apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but searching for "Quotes" and/or "Reply/Replies" in a forum full of Quotes and Replies is quite funny.

My issue (Version 1.8.15):
When Joe Blogs hits the REPLY button it quotes.
When Joe Blogs hits the QUOTE button it does nothing (except that I notice a small +/- symbol toggling which does nothing when replying other than Quote).

This is getting out of control as users must scroll through miles of quotes on quotes on quotes on quotes before they start typing their Reply... you get the picture?

If there a way that I can set "Reply" to a Reply without re-Quoting 17-million miles worth of Quotes?

I, myself, have already abandoned and deleted some posts because it's taking too long to scroll through miles of quotes - I hate to think how frustrated other users are.

I would love to have a "Reply" button and a "Quote" button that says what it means - how can this be achieved or is it a work-in-progress?

you can remove below content from postbit_quote template of your theme

&replyto={$post['pid']}

please see more details in replies here

the second Quote button you have referred is multiquote button. [more details]

Thanx for the quick response.
I have removed the code as suggested and the postbit_quote template is as follows:

<a href="newreply.php?tid={$tid}" title="{$lang->postbit_quote}" class="postbit_quote"><span>{$lang->postbit_button_quote}</span></a>

The issue remains (no change).
Do I need to get the MYSQL Server rebooted?

can you try with a different browser .. which theme you are using ?
post forum url & a test user account so that someone can check it.

I think your issue is with nested quotes ? https://community.mybb.com/thread-144704.html

I'd also suggest the following to disable quoting of the first post:

Many thanx guys.
I was using IE11 so I tried Edge - Edge works OK.
I am using default Themes/Templates.

To minimize the impact for IE users I set ACP->Config->Posting Options>Maximum Nested Quotes Tags to 1 (setting it to 0 did not change anything).

Will play with OUGC Unquote First Post (thanx Omar G).
