option 2: dot appears, quote appears, button is disabled
bad: what if you delete the quote or alter it and totally fubar it? You're gonna wanna re-quote it. Cant, though.
good: leaves no question if the button has been clicked, clean design
option 3: click, quote, reset
bad: may be misleading
good: reusability, clean design

Perfect explanation. Never gave it that kind of thought.
*applause* Well done.
The other thing if I remember right was that instantly after clicking the quote button you would be brought to the bottom of the page where the quick reply was sitting. But that would be quite annoying if you were planning to quote multiple posts. So I'm assuming that's why you changed the quick quote text into a link that if you were indeed finished you would quickly be brought to the quick reply box or "vb form" by clicking it. That is, if I'm right.
Great thoughts. Never realized you planned it out that well.
