Removing Reply Button

Perhaps if possible, could Roo remove the reply button underneath each comment, where it says

Quote:
» quote | reply | write to author | quote

Also, the first quote seems to be unfunctional, but it could be my computer.

The reason is that it causes posts to lose chronological order from oldest to newest if someone replies to an earlier post using that button. The second reason is that the each subsequent post box becomes smaller and aligned slightly to the right. If done repeatedly, it causes the post box size to be inconveniently narrow and eventually horizontally stretch the screen (which I believe Roo had to lock a thread for this reason).

Removing this would force every poster to to use the quick reply box at the button of the thread screen which is hardly more inconvenient. Both the quick reply and the reply button do not have the easy BBcode buttons that creating a new thread would. Also, using the quick reply would mean that there would be one less screen to load. The only inconvenient is that the poster would have to scroll down to the bottom of the screen which can be quicky remedied by pressing the [End] key on your keyboard. (Sorry Mac users, I have no idea if you have this key too.)

I will reply to this thread to show some examples.

Note that reading all the comments from top to bottom, this appears to be the second reply to the topic.

If one were to read a thread for only new replies, that person may have to search the entire thread for new replies if some people replied to earlier posts in this fashion.

This is chronologically the fourth reply made to this topic, made through the quote button to the third reply.

Note that the second quote button also has the effect of the reply button. Perhaps if possible, remove that one too. The same effect can be achieved by just using the reply box at the bottom of the page, copying and pasting the quoted text, and using the BBcode quote tags.

I noticed that when I replied to my first comment using the reply button, I lost my ability to edit the first comment, which is another disadvantage to this button.

I'm sorry if I sound unnecessarily nit-picky through this thread.
