Hey I found a work-around for the buggy quote system. Normally when you click it it will just go to the bottom to the thread, unless composing a message which the quotes only show for the more recent posts.
I find that if I right click the quote button and press the 'open in new tab' [not the mouse wheel/middle click/ mouse button 3/ whatever the hell you decide to call it, it's treated as a left click with the quote button.] it goes to the compose message in the new tab, with the quote.
