What happened to quoting feature?
I can't seem to figure out how do easily do quotes with the re-designed forum anymore. Has the option to choose to quote (and respond) to an earlier post disappeared? Now I find I have to resort to a lot of messy cutting and pasting to do any quotes.

It's still there. Just look in the upper right corner of the post you want to quote. The print is real small, so it may be difficult to see at first.
Ok, now I see it. I could have sworn I'd looked there earlier, but now I see it.
The quote feature used to work differently, allowing you to click on the "quote" button even if you weren't logged in, and then it would ask you to login, and take you right to the comment page.
Is there any way we could get this simpler quote functionality back?
Another advantage of this topics which have been updated since the last time you read them (or are new) will be highlighted. That way you don't need to look through every topic's last updated time just to see what's new.
I guess this is what I'll do (i.e. have it automatically log me in). As a principal, though, I try to avoid having automatic log-ins to any web site, so as to make it a little more difficult for someone who every happens to mis-appropriate my PC to login places with my account.
That's a wise choice to make in general. Definitely don't automatically log in to your bank, stock market, or even email accounts.
It's good to balance risk and reward. So, if someone were to take over your account here, the worst they could do is modify some of your posts and add some new ones. Since you're using a synonym anyways, it's pretty low risk.
