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.

Love it love it love it....

Any way that I can allow users to subscribe to the topic with the quick reply ? Ideally by way of a hidden field which simply subscribes the user if they have set their options to subscribe by default...?

Great hack BTW!

Just a trick: I think the QuickReplyBox should appear only below the lastest post in thread, don't you agree ?

I mean, when there are multi-page threads, the reply box should be hidden until the last page.

What do you think about ?
Thnx

I don't see why as you could click the reply button before the last page.

Agree with JTMON.
