We're running 7.4.3 and will update once we get PHP 8 rolling on our server. In the meantime, I want to inform the staff of this Forum bug. I'm not sure if it's been reported or addressed in the latest version, so I will test in a few minutes on this very topic.

Here's a good description of the issue.

 

Thanks

Certainly “working as intended”. The quote function is linked to the reply form, not any inline editing form one might be able to open as well. If what is described as “expected behaviour”, one could edit earlier posts and quote texts from posts which were made later on the page. Now that would be weird and only cause confusion.

Well that does make sense, and I hadn't thought of it.
