In your reply you can use the "Quote" button, and you can see below the mesage you are replying. I think it is no neccesary show the quote by default.

Hi, LL is working with Lithium to add backlinks to message replies, so that the context can be followed if there is a quote or not. Raymond Linden briefly mentioned this at the 2011-03-10 Community Tools User Group meeting.

OK, so it is easy enough to insert the parent messages using the Lithium REST API, but it will be more efficient if the system can add this on the page without a duplicate XMLHttpRequest on the client side. Will put this on the back burner and see if Lithium can come through.

This forum is unlike any I have ever posted to.  There is no quoting mechanism, there is an insulting scheme for spam prevention that is being abused by puritan moderators with liitle or no idea of what accurrs in a healthy debate, and there is well spam!

 

Oh and there's this strange idea that the users are going to jump through hoops and install third party scripts in an effort to "customise" the software.

Oh there's an effort to screen html for injection code which actually warns the poster.  Helloo, please let the hacker know in big bold letters what will not work so that the hacking can be automated.  Imbeciles.

 

I honestly thought that the old forum software was the worst that could possibly be brought to bear, I realize now that I was wrong.

It is hiding in plain sight! Many people miss it, i think because the default is a dim gray.
