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.

Hmm, for some reason the Quick Reply box is not showing on my forum anymore. I had to move servers and switched from a server running Ensim to one with CPanel. I haven't changed the DNS yet so the new server is still only accessible via IP. But, when logged in through there, the Quick Reply box does not show up. All the correct settings are in place and I've double and triple checked. It works on the old server at this time and nothing changed when I imported the DB over to the new server.

Anyone know why this would happen. I'm running 2.3.4 on both at the moment.

Thanks,

Disregard. Everything appeared to be fine with the showthreads.php template but for some reason it wasn't uploaded again. I know I did this once but second times a charm I suppose.

ok guys, hello...i have a slight problem on 2.3.4 I can't figure out what is going wrong when i upload showthread.php

When I go to click on a thead a reply box will just show up, not the thread itself, where did i go wrong?

regards,

RG

i've been using this hack for a good while before, but after i've recently re-installed VB from a restored database with version 2.2.6, when i try to edit showthread.php, i don't find any of the text i'm supposed to replace in it.

i'll attach it for everyone to see. never had this problem the two times i've installed it.
