Quick Reply Box

Here's an easy one, it barely took 4 minutes to do. :china:
This hack will add a quick replying box at the bottom of all threads, only if the user has permission to reply, so when you need to reply to something real quickly you don't need to click the Post Reply button and wait for the page to load.

Instructions are in the attached .txt file, and if you want a demo... just look below.

NOTE: For the vB 2.3.2 version please see this post.

Extras:

• If you want users who have the Use Email Notification option ON, to automatically subscribe to threads they reply to with this hack, see this post.
  
• If you want to add an option for each user to turn this feature on and off, please see this post.
  
• If you want smilies in your quick reply box please see this post.

[sticky]

I can't get this to work on 2.3.4 either My members are pissed there is no quick reply and I can't seem to find one that works on this version.

[MeTaL_oRgY]

lol, I have no members so I can wait lol.... I have to install all the hacks and then design them... so I have around a month and a half ... hope someone creates a quick reply hack soon XD

[Prince]

not sure what you all are talking about...I have this installed and working perfectly on vB 2.3.4

[Marcellus]

If it's not working for you in 2.3.4, it is very likely you missed one important thing in the instuctions when editing the showthread.php file. There are TWO instances of the code you are supposed to replace. I overlooked this one minor detail at first and the box didn't show up. As soon as I replaced both instances, everything worked fine.

[Elyk X]

tell me where it says to change it twice in the install file and ill kiss your butt. All it says is to find that code. It never mentions it beign there again.
