QuickReply

Post by LanikSJ »

While browsing the phpbb mods I found a QuickReply mod: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 9&t=839905. I'm okay with the current reply setup if there is interest in this I can test and implement. It might be pretty cool. 8)

Thoughts?

Is it like DSLR's quick reply? That's pretty cool and quick. Give it a try :)

I set it up at http://lanik.powweb.com/index.php (my forum on my old host). Looks pretty cool basically drops a reply window under each thread like MozillaZine for example. I'm not too terribly impressed with the Quote button under the persons name, but give it a shot and tell me what you think. You'll have to register most likely.

I tried it out and it is handy to the effect that it saves you one click (post reply). Would I use it? Yeah probably if I didn't have to quote someone or use emoticons.

It IS un-intrusive ... so what the heck :)

I'll see if I can figure out how to remove the Quote tag under our names if I do then I'll add it to this site. I think if you're going to quote someone might as well use the full reply window. I mean after all its quick reply not a long one. :)

BTW you should notice I've added more smileys, I noticed we were short a few.
