Quick reply

Is it possible to get a quick reply box like opinionators and FOIB mark 1 had?

It would be especially useful for the work games and other fora where one or two (or three) word answers are sufficient.

Cheers

Drew was looking into it. We decided to opt for a basic package, see how it goes, and then extend at a later date, when our knowledge of the forums workings is better.

I sometimes found that the "quick reply", or whatever it was called, didn't always work because of the timing control that wouldn't let you add messages quickly, especially in the word games. So I had to wait until the system let me reply. With this one (phbbp) it doesn't happen because of the time taken for the reply box to appear.

Same here

ooh, so they have!

Yay! (cept I can't read the French at the side)

yep correct.

OOh, wouldn't my french teacher be proud of me.

I have noticed a little icon saying "lock thread" now. Was it always there and do we now all have powers. I thought I had been promoted to Mod or something

Yayyy! It's here...I didn't notice the french thing...where does it say 'lock thread'?

Ah, found it.

Love the new quick reply box! It's much better!

It's always been there.

Yes but it is different now, it has things to change the text like bold etc and smiley faces on it. I could only ever access that if I clicked on "post reply".

I have had the text change thing for absolutely ages. But every time i want to put a in i have to go to normal reply, not quick..

Then learn the shortcuts for at least on those emoticons you use most often.

Off the top of my head....
I use these forums too much. i dont even remember using half of these more than once... The last 2 were a guess though. i rememberedthe face but not the keyboard shortcut

For me this is an important one to know

Hasn't this been here for ages?!? or am I going mad....

Thats what I said !!

OK, my husband just updated to IE7 so I think that's why it has just updated for me. lol
