What happened to the quote text speech bubble?

@wolfpup

Except it isn’t, because there’s no way to distinguish between a reply to the preceding post and a reply to the OP – an unintended consequence of over-design.

There is a solution to that in this post …

Could we implement this option ...?

It’s a known ‘feature’ that when a post has one reply immediately following it, the reply doesn’t show the ‘replying to’ symbol (in the top right corner). This has often led to confusion about whether the reply actually is a reply to the previous post, or is a reply to the original post. This thread from the Discourse Meta site appears to show how this can be cured :- Maybe this should be in Site Feedback… No doubt i’ll find out soon !

but no one seems interested in implementing it.

@Pleonast

It doesn’t capture coding

On the discourse site, the “Quote” option can do the same
thing that the “quote whole post” button did, ie, it will include all the text,
including embedded codes, which doesn’t happen here.
