I noticed that the reply buttons on each post has changed but it makes something stand out more that I previously ignored. How does the "Flag to Quote" button work because for me I cannot get it to do anything except change color as I don't know what it does or how it changes anything. Just something I thought I would bring up as I am not sure on how many other people treat the "Flag to Quote" button as a non-usable button.

Try not to bump 10 year old threads as it can be really annoying.

You can click the 'flag to quote' button on multiple posts. When you've 'flagged' a few posts and then click the yellow 'reply to this thread' button, all the posts you've flagged will be quoted in your new reply.

I personally think that the new button have a 'web 1.0' feel to them.

Its a feature. You can hit "Flag to quote" on as many posts as you want and when you hit the reply button it will insert quote tags for all of the posts you have flagged. This is a lot easier than hitting "Open in new tab" on the "Reply w/ quote" button and copying the quote tags to respond to multiple people.

That is not a new feature -- its been there for billions of years

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Nobody said that it was new - I just said it stands out more and now that I know what it does and can see the reason of why they made it stand out more than before.

I disagree.

1) I don't like the new buttons. They have a retro feel and don't really do it for me. The yellow buttons fit the look of the page IMO.

2) I prefer multiquote rather than Flag to Quote. The former tells me what the button does. The latter tells me very little.

3) I want the Reply without quote back. I for one use it a lot.

Just press the "quick reply" button, or the "reply to thread" button

I semiagree. The new buttons are just a bit too big. Maybe if they where about half or two thirds of current size IMO.

I agree there.

Also I believe the multiquote button is not self explanatory so perhaps if an article or something was written explaining how to use all of these great features in deniweb.
