Any progress on making it impossible to quote the opening post?

I seem to remember this was possibly in the works. It’s so frustrating when someone posts a long opening post and then people quote it!

I've just seen a thread where the first reply has quoted the lengthy original post. Why??

Is it that Quote is the first option under a post and Add Post is third? Can't they be swapped round?

I find it frustrating too. Surely everyone is replying to the OP (unless they make some kind of reference to the pp they’re addressing…)

I like it as you know what they are replying to.

Is it not obvious they are replying to the opening post??

Aren’t you hilarious doing that.

You know what they are replying to when it’s the original post.

Jeez. Live and let live! I like that feature, if a thread gets to multiple pages it's useful to have the OP quoted so you don't have to go all the way back to it.
