Anyone else having problems replying to threads?

You must be about as blind as I am. The dot is actually a plus sign. Had to use a magnifier to verify. Would have called it a cross but that might not be considered appropriate in this forum and may have lead to a whole other debate.  HAH!

Yep!  Broke out the reading glasses and magnifier.

Now to ... What use is it?  Is it not just easier to hit 'reply'?  What does 'quote' do that 'reply' does not, other than add steps?

You can select more than one post to quote. Select quote in each post, then select new reply. All of the different quotes in the selected posts appear.
