Remove “who quoted me” section?
Is there a setting to stop displaying the new “who quoted me” section on the My Flyertalk page? Once I read it, I no longer care to permanently display the history of it. There appears to be a “collapse” button, but it never sticks. Perhaps the default could be collapsed, and users could expand only if they are interested in seeing this history.
Personally, I preferred the prior method- get a notification, and choose to view the notifications to see the history of where you were quoted.

If it was defaulted to collapsed, it would be easy to avoid. But every time I set to collapsed, it gets reset the next time the page reloads.

*Disclaimer* No offense meant by the following statements... I am just providing feedback from my point of view.
I don't feel like this change provides any value, and appears to be out of place. Using an analogy, it is like an email box which stores emails that I've already read, and will never read again, but cannot delete, and am forced to look at every time I open up my email box. But in this case, I am not even choosing to open up my email box...I am only looking for unread posts in threads I am subscribed to.

I'd like this 'feature' disabled as well. I never used to get notifications for being quoted... now when I visit the site I am getting notifications in the little pulldown menu by my name that normally was for private message and other activity if I subscribed to things. There is no option to turn off notifications for quotes.
I have nothing subscribes, no threads followed, basically everything I can is turned off except for private message notifications... yet I still keep getting these quote notifications showing up now.

While I think the previous method was preferable, I am glad to have some notification of quotes. It makes it easy to respond to specific questions others may have posed. For me, I never go to the page depicted by the OP unless I get a quote notification. Can you not just ignore the notification/count?
