The site has two quote buttons. One of them just immediately navigates to a reply box with the post quoted; the other can build up multiple quotes to reply to.
I usually forget which one's which because they both look like quote but different.
Can I suggest we revise the icons for these?
1. Both use the same quote icon (whether it's the quotation marks or the speech bubble)
2. The one that does multiquote has a plus icon overlapping the quote icon in its lower-right quadrant
Something like this would help make it unambiguous that the second is "the first thing but the version that you use to add multiple".
I recommend using the single speech bubble for the quote icon because the plus sign would break up its silouhette in a way it would not break up the quotation marks silouhette.

I've gone with these for now:
I may svg us our own symbols.
Single bubble vs multiple bubbles should hopefully separate the ideas better.I may svg us our own symbols.
To the beaten, the broken, or the damned; the lost, and the wayward: wherever I may be, you will have a home.

Eyyyy. That's a great idea actually. Nice one. I like that even more than what I suggested.
