There is one feature that really helps discussions. Right now there is a link to unread topics. And responses to topics you responded in. It would be nice if there was a list of posts where you were quoted or responded to.

Especially in larger or old topics there is no point in responding to an earlier post since the person will have left the discussion 10 pages ago.

The simple implementation would be to just list all the quotes that where made using the quote format from the quote button. A fancypanths implementation would be like StackOverflow.com where it will pickup the @username tag from the post.

Tapatalk has this. Idk how they compile it, so there must be a way to access it via API, but I don't know if that means there's a URL that can parse it.

For now you can use the Tapatalk app if you'd like to see when people quote you.

I'll second this request.

Tapatalk is fine on mobile but no good for those of us accessing the forum on a desktop computer.

It's pretty meh, but the best option on mobile.
