If you want to make Quick Reply something users can turn off then do this.

1) Make Sure Quick Reply is ON for everyone. (Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options ) Make sure Quick Reply is one of the YES options.

2) Go to the Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New Profile Field
- Type: Single Selection Radio Button -> Continue
- Title: Disable Quick Reply?
-Description: Allows you to turn off Quick Reply
-Options:

No
Yes

-Set Default: Yes
Field Searchable on Members List / SHow on Members List: No for both
-Display Page: options - Thread Viewing
-Leave everything else as is
-Save

Now write down (or just rmember) the name of the field listed for this option. It will be field5 or field6 usually, something like that. I'm going to assume it's field5 for this example.

Now go to the Admin CP -> Pugins & Products -> Plugin Manager

Add A New Plugin (at bottom of the page)

Title- Quick Reply Disable
Hook - global_bootstrap_init_start
exec. order: 5

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin;

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] == 'Yes')
{
  $vbulletin->options['quickreply'] = 0;
}

And save the plugin.

SHould now work. Go to User CP -> General Settings to turn quick reply on or off.
