Reply box on nonVB page?

[kira]

Hi everyone. This is my first post here so please be gentle. Also, I'm no coding guru by any stretch ... I run a forum but I'm more of a writer/editor/designer than anything else. VB.org has been an amazing resource, and I'm so grateful to you guys for providing it for free!

A little background. I have a site dedicated to my online writing -- it's an original drama series -- and my readers are mostly web newbies who are less experienced even than myself. They tend to be intimidated by anything that looks relatively complex, and I'm afraid the VB seems to freak 'em out.

While they respond avidly through a mail form placed right on the same page as my episodes, for some reason getting them to click on the link to post on my forum seems to be a sticking point. I've added the Quick Reply hack to my threads (here's a sample), which helped a little, but not enough, darnit!

What I'd like is some kind of code that I could use on an html page to create a very simple reply box (associated with a pre-existing thread). I already allow unregistered posts, so I don't require login capability (although it'd be nice for those who are registered). This way the readers could post their feedback in the simple box, press "send," and are automatically redirected to the forum thread.

In short, would it be logistically possible to create a hack to allow posting from a Quick Reply box nonVB page? And if so ... would someone do it for a poor PHP-impaired soul like me?

Thank you all very much again!
