Thanks for converting this and releasing it BL! I used this on vb3.8 and loved it then!

the ability to use this in certain forums (id's) would be the way to go as I would only use this in my 'Introductions' category. thx tagged

A few suggestions and issues.

Default to ON for admins when installing.

The default canned reply is blank in the dropdown. Should probably list something there like "-- Select --" or something, just so it's not blank.

When inserting a new reply, there's a leading carriage return even though there isn't one in the canned reply.

Categories. I'd like to be able to visually group things a little better as I'll end up having probably about 30 replies or so and I think around 5 different categories at this point.

Add this to the quick reply. The idea behind a canned reply (for me anyway) is that I need to do something quickly. Having to go to the advanced editor to do this somewhat defeats the ease of use.

As always, excellent work, thanks!!

Another suggestion:

Use something like {username} and {musername} to auto insert the recipients/readers username and such.

Found a bug: When inserting a canned reply with a single quote, the SQL query dies.

Another suggestion:

Shared replies.

Would be nice if there was a way specific usergroups could share their replies with others. Then list them in their own category or whatever.

When going to "Your Canned Replies" in user control panel, the borders for the 'My Messages' and 'My Subscriptions' is broken. Not really a big deal, but is there a way to fix this?
