Since I already have two requests...

First, run this database query:

ALTER TABLE user ADD showquickreply tinyint(1) DEFAULT '1' not null AFTER nosessionhash

EDIT: Corrected it to "AFTER nosessionhash" (I forgot I was basing the location after another hack I installed )

That will set the default to show the quick reply - changing "DEFAULT '1'" to "DEFAULT '0'" should set the default to no display.

Make a new template "modifyoptions_showquickreply" with the following contents:

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="#13486D"><normalfont><b>Show Quick Reply Box?</b></normalfont><br>
	<smallfont>Disabling this option will hide the quick reply boxes at the end of
each thread. You can still reply by clicking on "Post Reply".</smallfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="#13486D"><normalfont>
		<input type="radio" name="showquickreply" value="yes" $showquickreplychecked> yes
		<input type="radio" name="showquickreply" value="no" $showquickreplynotchecked> no
	</normalfont></td>
</tr>

Now, in member.php, after:

PHP Code:

  if ($bbuserinfo[nosessionhash]) {
    $nosessionhashchecked="checked";
    $nosessionhashnotchecked="";
  } else {
    $nosessionhashchecked="";
    $nosessionhashnotchecked="checked";
  } 


Add:

PHP Code:

// Show Quick Reply Option
  if ($bbuserinfo[showquickreply]) {
    $showquickreplychecked="checked";
    $showquickreplynotchecked="";
  } else {
    $showquickreplychecked="";
    $showquickreplynotchecked="checked";
  }
// Show Quick Reply Option 


Still in member.php, before:

PHP Code:

  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("modifyoptions")."\");");
}

// ############################### start update options ############################### 


Add:

PHP Code:

// Show Quick Reply Option
  eval("\$showquickreplyoption = \"".gettemplate("modifyoptions_showquickreply")."\";");
// Show Quick Reply Option 


EDIT: Forgot this step at first, but here it is . In member.php after:

In member.php, after:

PHP Code:

  $cookieuser=iif($cookieuser=="yes",1,0);
  $nosessionhash=iif($nosessionhash=="yes",1,0); 


Add:

PHP Code:

// Show Quick Reply Option
  $showquickreply=iif($showquickreply=="yes",1,0);
// Show Quick Reply Option 


Still in member.php, find:

PHP Code:

  $DB_site->query("UPDATE user
                   SET ".$updatestyles."adminemail='$adminemail',
                      showemail='$showemail',invisible='$invisible',cookieuser='$cookieuser',
                      maxposts='".addslashes($umaxposts)."',daysprune='".addslashes($prunedays)."',
                      timezoneoffset='".addslashes($timezoneoffset)."',emailnotification='$emailnotification',
                      startofweek='".addslashes($startofweek)."',options='$options',receivepm='$receivepm',
                      emailonpm='$emailonpm',pmpopup='$pmpopup',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]',
                      nosessionhash='$nosessionhash' 


Add (continuing previous line):

,showquickreply='$showquickreply'

Finally, in showthread.php, after:

PHP Code:

} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
    $replybox=''; 


(Note: you'll have to install the regular quick reply hack first to find this)

Add:

PHP Code:

} elseif ($bbuserinfo['showquickreply']==0) {
    $replybox=''; 


EDIT: One final step I forgot:

Edit the modifyoptions template. After the following code:

<!-- *** -->
<tr>
	<td bgcolor="#1D6AA0" colspan="2"><normalfont color="#EEEEFF"><b>Thread View Options</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
<!-- *** -->

Add:

$showquickreplyoption

There, that should do the trick . If you have any trouble or can't get it to work, let me know.
