So much this.
Now that people have to make an effort to quote something, rather than just hitting one button, I no longer have to scroll through the same three three paragraphs of text and half a dozen photos, just to read "this is rad".
What it doesn't do well though is make the whole conversation easy to follow; what's revealed by clicking the post number isn't a complete chain.

That could be helpful. A special "chain" page when you click "in reply to". Also, a tooltip (I think that's what they're called) that pops up with the quoted post when you hover over "in reply to" would be nice.
I feel that as it is now is a bit awkward, and harder to engage with.

We have two URLs for a comment.
The comment within it's reply chain: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/11886727/
The comment within the context of the wider conversation: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/11886727/incontext/ which will redirect to the right page: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/131364/?offset=5250#11886727
We currently use the latter as early feedback was not positive at all for the former... but the former was the original design. It's reached from the # numbered link on the right of a post... the permalink for a comment with additional context of what it was in reply to - a single parent - and all immediate replies.

I don't want the old way of quoting back because now everyone has stopped quoting awful, awful people wholesale. Now that the ignore function is complete this means that I don't ever need to look at their wretched posts ever again. It's beautiful.
