Exactly. There will always be members who are new, or don't care, or who forget, or who are in a hurry, or who have a need o do whatever they shouldn't. Or even who are just uneducable!

This time it is me who has become frustrated at the number of times people blindly quote an entire message.

Re: Reply w/quote disabled again
Percy, is the code somehow tied to the ‘Mark as acknowledged’ (or whatever it said) button? That button also seems to be missing.

Acknowledging a message
To acknowledged a message (note as being read without replying), you click on the "You have not yet responded" at the bottom of the message that was a reply to your message. That toggles the "You have not yet responded" to "You have acknowledged this reply".
There is no "acknowledge" button.
As best I can see, the acknowledgement process is still working correctly.

Re: Acknowledging a message
Okay. Working now for me. Odd. Something like that happened a couple of months ago.

You're not alone - there are times when I'm utterly convinced that computers are playing with my head.
