View Full Version : Do you use the Quick Reply upgrade?

I was just wondering if anyone uses it. It's at the very bottom of the page on every post. All you have to do is type in your message there and it saves you from having to press the "reply" button and wait for the reply page to load.

You can't use smileys with the quick reply function (unless you know the codes for all the smileys) But I think that was the best idea I ever had for the forums. Soooo much easier.

Yah it's a hard habit to break. I sometimes press the reply button....but the quick reply is just 10X easier once you get out of the habit of pressing the reply button.

ive used it a few times, but when i have to quote something someone else said, i just hit reply. it helps out, yeah, but i think its gonna make the amount of 5 word responses go up exponentially.

IDK...all I know is that quick-reply rocks! hhaah. I don't foresee too much problem with more small 5 work responses, but I'm also working on an upgrade for that.

Basically this upgrade won't let you post unless you put in X amount of characters. It's a pretty easy upgrade to install, so if we start having problems with that kinda thing, I'll definitely employ it.

Yeah basically. However many words I choose.

So, your post:
"so basically....it won't let you post anything under say.....5-10 words???"
Would be perfectly fine.

Unnacceptable would be:
"That would be cool"

Would be perfectly fine.

Unnacceptable would be:
"That would be cool"OMG! That would be such an awesome idea. It would totally cut down on post whoring cause latley there has been a person who just says "yeah, thats cool" and thats about it and now they have a high post count....crappy.
