This is excellent idea. :up:

Only thing I think would be also optional is multi quote, sometimes it could be useful to (multi) quote last post and compose it in your reply. So I think that there should be option to have multi quote included in last post.

First post is also interesting question, as many people quote whole first post, which sometimes is totally unnecessary.

And idea about changing places of quick reply and quote buttons, its easily done by manual template edit.

Edit postbit_legacy (probably its the same for postbit) template, find this:

<vb:if condition="$show['quickreply'] AND !$show['threadedmode']">
						<a id="qr_{vb:raw post.postid}" class='quickreply' href="{vb:raw post.replylink}&amp;noquote=1" rel="nofollow" title="{vb:rawphrase quick_reply_to_this_message}"><img id="replyimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase quick_reply_to_this_message}" /> {vb:rawphrase reply}</a> 
					<span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>
					</vb:if>
					<vb:if condition="$post['replylink']">
						<a id="qrwq_{vb:raw post.postid}" class="newreply" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" rel="nofollow" title="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}"><img id="quoteimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}" />  <vb:if condition="$post['forwardlink']">{vb:rawphrase reply_to_private_message}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}</vb:if></a> 
					<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']"><span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span></vb:if>
					</vb:if>

And change they places, so you have this:

					<vb:if condition="$post['replylink']">
						<a id="qrwq_{vb:raw post.postid}" class="newreply" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" rel="nofollow" title="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}"><img id="quoteimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}" />  <vb:if condition="$post['forwardlink']">{vb:rawphrase reply_to_private_message}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}</vb:if></a> 
					<span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>
					</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['quickreply'] AND !$show['threadedmode']">
						<a id="qr_{vb:raw post.postid}" class='quickreply' href="{vb:raw post.replylink}&amp;noquote=1" rel="nofollow" title="{vb:rawphrase quick_reply_to_this_message}"><img id="replyimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase quick_reply_to_this_message}" /> {vb:rawphrase reply}</a> 
					<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']"><span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span></vb:if>
					</vb:if>

You need to observe this last condition about multiquote, it needs to be at the end, as you don't need it if there's no multiquote option.
