I've notice this of late too. I've managed to still quote someone by using the "Switch Editor Mode" feature in the top right corner of the message box. For some reason, quoting someone in the one mode works, whilst in the other it does not. I'm not 100% sure which mode is which, but when I have a cream background and typing, I cannot quote; when I have a white background and typing, I can. I'm using the dreaded Internet Explorer 11.

Plugins, particularly adblockers, can cause this quote button failure as well as deprecate other site functions. They're just not very good at telling what's an ad and what's a site feature.

Thank you, disabled Adblock 2.5.1 and back to normal, so now I have to make a choice ! Do I want Ads. or a Quote button !
Doesn't answer the question tho' - why did Adblock suddenly start to do that, it had been installed sometime ago ?
No matter, problem solved.

Adblock 2.5.1 has no deleterious effect for me. It's down to how you set it up.
Like AV programs, the blocking lists get updated from time to time.
