this is a great idea and i really want it, but it looks like people are having many problems.

can someone please clean this up and just have it work? because this should be really darn simple... just adding a reply box. it should have been the standard. i hope this mod can be fixed up i'll be looking forward to a stable version.

why do u need it to be exactly like the page u would get if u clicked the reply button?

You know, I'm thinking the same thing..

I may try and come up with something if I can find the time.

Works fine for me v.3.5.4

I too had to use the alt version. The install.txt in the alt zip instructs you to edit ph_showpm for both template edits instead of pm_showpm and pm_newpm

very nice though

Quite importantly, this doesn't work with the WYSIWYG.

It *seems* to, but when sending the message, the recipient just gets the quote, not the actual message.

Thanks for pointing that out, Mark. B

I was just wondering why it works for some of my users but not others.

In the absence of a fix for this issue, I have set things up using a conditional, so that WYSIWIG users don't see the quick reply box.

Not ideal, but as most of my members are non-WYSIWIG users and like this feature, it seemed the sensible way out as it works perfectly for them.

Installed and looking good.

Is there a way to adjust the QR form size? its a little smaller than the toolbar and so I would like to adjust it.
