I'll try that. Thank you. :)

I want to be able to put a simple Reply button next to Quote, but the Reply is ONLY to that particular previous poster (kind of like a quote but not putting anything in the message area) and in the Title is:

Re: Budget and Value Meals in AC [username_who_i_am_replying_to]

where would that be? postbit?newreply? i am looking all over for the best way to edit that iand which variables to use. what would be the coding for that?

please help,
thanks.

I can't picture what you want. Perhaps you have an image to show of what you want?

If you are trying to figure out what template to add something to, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.

Ok, you can see when I click the Quote button it puts: your username: Lynne in the Quote section. What I want to be able to do is in the Title section add your name or whoever I clicked on to Quote, but not have all the rest of it like the message: I can't picture what you want. Perhaps you have an image to show of what you want? - that needs to go away. but i dont want to loose the ability to Quote all the time either. I just want to add a button that is like quick reply quote - just has the Original Posted by: Username but no message quoted.

is that possible? does that make sense?

how would you do that?

Use Lynne's code above, but also add this mod (if it'll work on later versions of vB, which I think it should):

This adds "in reply to [username]" to the top of each post.

thanks. that worked great, but when u add an extra button, it seems like it doesnt want to take it. like there is only so much space available.

it will only keep 4 buttons. not sure why?

do you have to change anything anywhere else?

i have edit, quote, multi quote and quick reply. it wont let me add anything else.

any ideas?

awesome! Exactly what I was looking for.
