Quote reply control in postbit

[MickDoneDee]

Hi, some of my new members haven't got the hang of using the various thread views and because the default view is Linear they find it difficult tracking the post relationships, particularly in long threads. So they constantly post using the quote button and include the entire quoted post - even if their reply follows. This makes it difficult to read threads since some posts are effectively duplicated.

I've attempted to educate some of them but as the forum grows this way becomes too time-consuming. So, i'd like to either replace the Quote button or include a Reply button next to it that calls up their default editor without the quote.

I found the code in the postbit template that will remove the control altogether but I'd prefer to modify it so that members can still call up their default editor.
Can anyone help?

Regards, Mike
