Quick-reply...has this been brought up before?

Sharkbait · Apr 14, 2004

I rarely check this forum (sorry, no time!!), but I had a thought--some of the other php sites I frequent have a quick-reply hack built into the forum software. When you view a thread, at the bottom of the screen there's a little text box for quick replies. Have we thought about adding that hack? It's dead-useful!! Doesn't seem like a big deal, but not having to hit 'post reply' and wait for that screen to come up all the time really tends to facilitate a faster dialogue (especially for those on slower connections who may think twice about replying because of the need to load 2-3 new screens of info in order to reply).

Actually, that would probably save on some server bandwidth as well. If I remember, I looked at it before and it seemed to be a pretty straightforward mod.

I'll take another look at it. Keep an eye out for it to be installed here and shoot me a reminder if you don't see anything more from me in the next couple of days.
