My only slight niggling request would be, can the quote panel be put at the top of the page, above the list of subscribed threads?

No. For one, we don't want to mess around too much with standard User Control Panel layouts and also most users are simply going to find subbed threads moreimportant

Should be on the main page, below subbed threads and forums

Just a side FYI for anyone else who, like myself, was unsure how to find the 'usercp' without the quote notification, it is linked by the 'MyFlyerTalk' header, or it is this url: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/usercp.php.

Fair enough. I don't really use the subbed threads personally, but I am satisfied to find that if I collapse that panel, they stay collapsed when opening the control panel page again. Thanks again.

edit: and I see from another thread here that there's an opinion completely contrary to mine.

I primarily use the Subscribed Threads. Now that I have the quotes section... I will still use it since I'm used to it. I wish the quoted section would be able to default open or closed, but I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Does "Control Panel" mean MyFlyerTalk (reached by the link you provided) or does it mean Your Control Panel? (Apparently it means MyFlyerTalk, but I want to be sure I'm understanding correctly.) Thanks for clarification.

We should be referring to it as "MyFlyerTalk" to prevent confusion. I don't know who in this thread started referring to it as the Control Panel

Thank you. (For me, it's actually below the Subscribed Forums box, which is below the New Subscribed Threads box.)

Thank you both. I think I've got it now.

Got it, thanks. I was looking for a menu item on the left. I didn’t seriously take into consideration to scroll all the way to the bottom of the main section of the webpage potentially prompting a doctor’s visit to have my wrist looked at.

BTW, if you have no new notifications - quotes, likes, PMs, etc. - there is absolutely nothing on the right side to see. Poof! Not even a mention that you have zero notifications.

I still don’t see the post quotes on my drop down. I deleted my entire chrome browsing history on my iPhone. I shut off the phone too. I don’t see the icon that was suggested above to get me to be able to clear my cache. I’m not sure how to find that. Not sure what else to do.
