So, you are most likely to want to quote the last person who posted in a thread, but you can't, there is a Reply button instead, but every other post has a Quote button - I don't get it? Where's the benefit in that? Discovery 4 HSE

It's to stop people doing this unnecessarily every time. |

I agree Stan, unless you don't hear them properly, but that doesn't apply to written communication. |

It's to prevent poor, lazy use of the "quote" button when what is actually wanted is reply.

Sometimes you want to quote the post above - or part of it if you wish to highlight it. It is very annoying when someone posts lots of pictures and then someone replies with a quote of all the pictures just to say - and that happens a lot in other forums. |

For instance here, where I'd want to say it would need repeating because I'd have forgotten what you said! |
