Question quote function

I've been administrating forums since Compuserve and participating since I had a dial up modem logging into local bbs. So I'm familiar with change and welcome it when it is an improvement. But not all change is good. I'm giving you user feedback direct from source. The last thing that I want is to get you entrenched defending things that I believe are problematic. The issues here are not simply about change. There is some added complexity and issues that defies good ux principles. Point taken re: ckeditor. But honestly does not look contemporary to me. Wastes a lot of real estate and the default styling looks 20 years old.

I'm not defending anything, I don't care which editor or what changes are made to it. And yes, you are right, the option with the red line isn't' optimal.
It would be better if the cursor is automatically placed after the quoted text or you can do it itself without the red symbol.
I will ask the developers how we should change this option.

I'm going to hold off updating to K5.2 because of this. All it needs is for the cursor to be placed below the quoted text and it would be fine, an improvement on the old functionality, but as it is I think it's completely unacceptable.

would it be possible to disable the quote function completely until there is an update or fix?  Thank you.

It should be possible in the template setting (tab BBCode).

I tried that Show Quote Button: NO   But it had no affect.  I deleted cache in joomla and browser.  Quote button still displays and functions the same.
