I know that I will end up getting a lot of abuse for suggesting this but should we all stop using the quote button as we are continuing to move into a multi platform world that doesn’t have very big screens.

I regularly use the mobile site (rather than the app) on my iPhone and find that I can’t follow threads that have very long OPs as I have to click through too many pages to get to the reply.

Can an alternative be used to quoting the previous response such as using the @ symbol as in @Genius1 for example?

I know that I like using quote on forums but I personally think that it is over used.
