Hi
I have this on (3) of my clients forums, instead of just having (3) buttons, (1) main [top/bottom], -> reply to topic, (2) in the post bits -> quick reply to topic, reply to topic!
I have (4) buttons in the post bits on (1) forum (4) (quick reply to topic, reply to topic, quick reply to post user, reply to post user), on the other (2) there is a radio button -> 'Reply to this Users Post'
It does not add another query, adds ( 1 ) column to post table
When a post is replied to, it add a comment to the top of the post bit
username replying to usernames, post id! Then in each post there is a, replying to, replying from (link), that follows the replys! I also added a search option that allows the user to see who has replied to their post, viewed in post bit type style by topic ordered by date of the personal reply!
If I remember correctly, it 4 script edits, and 3 template edits, to add everything including the search option! The search option is only shown if they have had personal replies to a post they have made!
It sort of like having a multi topics within (1) topic!!!
