Edit your postbit_legacy (or postbit) template Styles & Templates -> Style Manager

Look for (lines 190-193)

                    <vb:if condition="$show['quickreply'] AND !$show['threadedmode']">
                        <a id="qr_{vb:raw post.postid}" class='quickreply' href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" rel="nofollow"><img id="replyimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase quick_reply_to_this_message}" /> {vb:rawphrase reply}</a>
                    <span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>
                    </vb:if>

After that add this code:

<!-- added advance reply -->
                    <vb:if condition="!$show['threadedmode']">
                        <a class='quickreply' href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw post.postid}&amp;noquote=1" rel="nofollow"><img id="replyimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="Advanced reply" /> Adv {vb:rawphrase reply}</a>
                        <span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>
                    </vb:if>
<!-- end added advance reply -->

Note...to help your users to clearly distinguish between the two reply modes you may like to add the word Quick like shown here to:

quick_reply_to_this_message}" /> Quick {vb:rawphrase reply}</a>

to the code a couple of lines above

I want to thank you for this! This way it's way better than a double-click feature, which is very unusual on websites.

I just have one question, I applied step 3 also, but this also creates an extra Reply-"button" to a PM. So, now you have two options under a PM, "Reply" and "Reply to PM"... of course the first one isn't working, but it's confusing. How can we get rid of this extra "button" in a PM, but retain it under "normal" posts. Added an attachment for clarity.

Thanks!
