Blender 2.7 Basic Vertex question Unless my memory completely fails me, I used to be able to do CTRL+R to create a vertex along an edge.

Now, I get the Loop, Slide functionality.

I know I can create the other vertices and delete the ones I don't need but it would be very helpful to add a vertex on occasion.

Did something change during a recent version change or am I remembering incorrectly.

I realize that we need to keep 4 sided polygons as much as possible but sometimes it can be very useful to do that by inserting vertices.

Can anyone help?  I did a lot of Bing searches but the earliest responses I saw were around 2011 and they were suggesting the same thing that I remembered.

Any help greatly appreciated.

If I understand you're meaning correctly, you want to add vertices only on a specific edge, and not to add an entire loop.

To do that, select the edge, then subdivide using the button on the Tools Panel, or the shortcut W --> Subdivide. You can then edit the number of subdivisions through the Last Operator Panel (bottom of the Tools Panel), or the F6 menu.
