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.

it works! for sure, I tested it 4 times and it works smooooth
Yet if I remember well, yes, some minor, very minor, and apparent changes in
the code might be there...
But you will get by. I am confident.
Just give it a try and if it does not work, let us know.
It is a big family here, you would find many who are willing to help ya.

does not update in the active threads. This is aparent on my board because
I link to the active threads.

hmmm. I do not know if my post would answer your question but let me tell
you this.
I used the reply-box, and went back to the forum, and the thread was
CORRECTLY updated with last post by ME.

Firefly...

Myself and Boofo have been working to get this to work, and now it doesnt, even after a Fresh re-install...

What is wrong with it?

We havent added any other hacks except for the Quick Reply Box, and it still comes up with :

"No Valid Link specified...Please contat the Webmaster"

Any clues, as both of us a clueless??

works fine for me!

[Boofo]

this really has me stumped! I just did a fresh install, put the quick reply box in and triple checked everything and I still get the Forum not specified error. Anyone have any idea at all what could be causing this?

[Chris M]

I know this isnt confirmed...

But maybe it could be your hosting company's server?

Probably not...

FireFly - Help!

[Boofo]

I had it working at one time. :lick:

[Chris M]

Damn...

Maybe there is no explanation...

I'm moving to a new server this weekend. We'll see if that does anything. :-)
