Removed quote button and added alternative

[johu]

It might be one of the numerous plugins I have installed in my browser but if somebody quotes a large post in a thread it automatically scales into a smaller window

I changed the style of quotes, that's why

I am really offended by the "floating" quote button that appears randomly if I select text

I do rather like the quote selection feature as it's less cumbersome than manually breaking up the quote.
Another variant would be making the standard quote button context sensitive. If something is selected it will quote the selection otherwise the entire post.

That sounds like a great compromise (also seems more intuitiv to me as quotes will be in one central place)
Although I want to mention, that it is not super important to me. So if the majority has a different opinion I wont object to it further
