Why are there two options (Reply and Quote) in DD threads? Sometimes it’s very confusing. Only Quote option seems to be useful. What is the purpose of Reply button? It neither seems to notify the user being replied to nor does it have the Expand option. Should DD devs remove the Reply option?

If a thread has no comments, then only reply option would be available. As far as I know.

Quote is basically your reply to that specific dimer & reply is in general for that topic, so you dont have to scroll all the way down to revert to that topic (its like quick revert).

Then reply button should be visible only at the top/bottom of the page and not with every post. Otherwise it’s very confusing. 

Also as @Tjs15 mentioned, ‘Reply’ should be renamed ‘Comment’ and ‘Quote’ should become ‘Reply’.  ‘Comment’ should be available only at the top of the page while ‘Reply’ should be for every post.

Also, if someone wants to write a new comment without quoting anything, then quote option won’t work.
