Thank you very much. I did install this Mod on 3.7.2 PL1.
I works pretty fine.

I suggest that you explain further how to compress the java file.
Some users might find some difficulty there.

BTW, Windows users can compress the file from the DOS blcak sceen.
I just copied the yahoo compressor and the vb .js file both to my root C:\
then ran the command as shown in yahoo compressor page.

Many thanks again for this perfect mod.

I believe not though.
The purpose of quick reply has been defeated by the improvement in PC and communication technologies. i.e. It became easier for developers to utilize "heavy" codes to improve their user's experience. FLASH is a good example of a technology which was struggling just few years ago and became very common nowadays because of that reason.

Ideas:
- Lets make the quick reply smaller by placing the options in a toggle_collapse <thead> (default closed until clicked)

Our pleasure to see you here .
Regarding to your nice idea, it will be included in the next update (Very Soon).

Just wait for the next update, it has many optimizations & should fix this.

You are welcome, the next update has many differences specially in the JS part, you will be able to use the default compressed version of the JS file without editing the uncompressed one. Just wait.

vBulletin always doesn't put the full editor in the middle (check the advanced reply to see it) and since this product use the same method that vBulletin use, then it will appear as the default editor. Any way you can set the width to be 100% (from product's settings) to get advantage of the whole space & display the editor in the middle.

Smilies under the edit box is not working.

Edit: Actually nothing in that whole row of checkboxs works. ( Smiliebox Below Editor Display Cut/Copy/Paste Buttons Display Undo/Redo Buttons Display Extra Buttons)

[WildSoftCat]

Thanks

When using different kinds of smilies (different sizes) it's impossible to calculate common number of smilies per row ( any user can have own set of smilies - Favorite smilie). I implemented additional user profile field (smilies per row) and add it inside code. Maybe You can also add it to product.
