I just realized something, here is a previous thread I started which was a different problem with Discourse:
And there was a really cool solution to the problem that doesn’t involve going through all of the steps to take someone off of ignore just to read one stupid post.
Well, that solution is out the window now. And I just ran into the problem today in fact. So one Discourse bad decision is making another one worse.
At least there were a couple of other nice suggestions, but the “full quote” option was the simplest and most convenient one.
