I can't seem to find the "Selective Quote" feature when viewing threads/posts.
Is the removal intended? I quite liked it!
Selective Quote feature removed?
Probably related to the gamedev5.net domain:

I don’t see gamedev5.net/squote.js (or any resource from gamedev5.net) being requested anymore as well.

It looked to me like we got several new features, and we also lost some. Several visual styles changed slightly. Selective quote went away, and the editor doesn't handled raw mode as nicely any more. Also as was noted on here a few days back, marking a user as a spammer didn't remove spam in some sections of the site, which has been broken on updates before. The top users button is gone.
Some of the super-secret moderation tools look a little more fancy. The editor doesn't eat as many of my formatted posts. Posting feels easier on my tablet, but I cannot place exactly why. There have been some improvements.
The behind-the-scenes people tend to be quiet about software updates, normally happening invisibly to us blissfully-ignorant users. I imagine the problems of transforming the stock IPS system into our heavily modified system is keeping the green-labeled people rather busy.
But Why remove "selective quote"?
Why remove what has worked so well? Whats the rational behind this?
So to get around this you have to select a whole post and manually delete irrelevant stuff, what good does that achieve?
Selective quote was an addition beyond the built-in system. It is not a native part of ip.board software.
I don't know if gd.net has used a mod for it which is temporarily broken or if it is custom maintained by the folks in green, but either way, it was likely broken with the latest software updates.

This is what I tried when I noticed the feature gone, except I couldnt figure out how to remove a quote within the quote (as it was at top of the quote... everything I tried just broke the formatting in one way or another)
Definitely want this back, its much more important than the basic "quote" feature IMO.
The top users button is gone.
Funny enough, the URL still works. The numbers are still accurate, the banner ads are gone and the fonts are changed, but everything else seems to work like they used to. The search even works still: https://www.gamedev.net/sm/
