Hi guys,
Has anyone thought about implementing the Quick Reply feature that is used on a lot of the other VBulletin boards? It really is very useful, especially for people like myself who only have a 56K connection. It does speed things up a little.
If you are unsure of what I mean, check out this forum:

Click on a post, then scroll to the bottom of the page and you`ll see it.
Just a thought!
:)

I looked at a couple of different threads and I couldn't find what you were talking about.
Maybe you can post a screen shot of it.

is this what you mean?
"This hack allows users to use a quick reply form which is placed below every topic.
It will only display when a user has the reply access
(must be why we cant see it). The user will have an option to quote the last message and an option to recieve notification upon reply. If they have reply access, guest users can enter a name. A list of 24 smilies is shown below input area. Users can paste names of other users into the textarea just by clicking on the name. They can select any text on a page and quote it to the input area."

I do moderate an Invision forum and I recently implemented the hack, which was pretty easy to do. I`ve no idea whats involved with the VBulletin board.

I do not believe that vbullitain is open source, I believe, so I think you would have to upgrade. Atleast thats what I thought.

Sadly as nice as a feature that may be it couldn't happen.
Based on the simple fact that if it was installed here the other amount of forums owned by Jupitermedia.
To amany times have installing 'hacks' caused problems with forums, to the point to where they only work well on a newly installed forums.
BTW - even though vbullitain is not open source you can still create hacks and install them... but they are all use at your own risk!
