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.

Draco...

You wouldnt happen to know any reason why my error occurs?

Not the Quick Reply at the Top I mean...

I meant why it appears only in that forum?

Nope, sorry man. I'm a PHP newbie hehe, but I'm trying to learn. But I really have no idea why it would do that. It could be the forums using different templetes, but I'm not sure.

I wonder why though...

I am also a php Newbie here, but I am learning pretty fast, although this has me truly stumped...

Hi Hellsatan,

Checked the syntax? You didnt forgot a } or {?? or a ;?
Check that it might be the problem.

Greetz,

Hmmm...

Maybe...

I shall, but I think it is a more complex fault than that to solve the reason why its in different forums...

Thanks...I shall try it, but I doubt it will work...

I checked all the syntax on mine as well, but I still cannot figure out why it shows at the top. Any ideas?

Nope...

Im stumped...

Get this...

I figured out the error I made, and tried to fix it...

Yes...The Quick Reply box wanted to work then...

But again...Only in that forum...

So then I had 2 Quick Reply Boxes, one on top of each other...

Mayhem!

And they were both still at the top...

Maybe it is stuborn because it is 2.5.5...

Smoothie, does this look right to you?
I put this in my showthread tempalte
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
$replybox

and then I edited the showthread.php and did everything else that the directions said. Was your install process the same?

I found the problem...

My friend, -rs-, found the problem...

There are 2 sets of "<!-- first unread and next/prev -->"!!!!!

Ray pointed out that I put it after the First set, which made it go at the top...

If you search, and add "$replybox" after the second set, it should go to the bottom...

This is a GREAT hack, Firefly!

Improves usability serveral hundred percent... thank you!!

Sometimes the simplest things are the most genius.

Two suggestions

A. I noticed that when you do a quick reply, it doesn't add that particular post to your subscribed threads. Is there a way to turn that on? Or perhaps in an update, give a checkbox someone hits to subscribe... a little "subscribe to thread" box would be cool.

A lot of people don't even know they're subscribed to threads when they reply the normal way. A checkbox system would not just give them a choice, but give them awareness, too.

B. A new spell checking hack has been released that looks like it's going to turn into something viable. Perhaps there could be a checkbox or a link for something like that, too? Perhaps like the count characters link your already have?

Those two small, out of the way suggestions would add even more to the usability -- key things people want control over... without clutter.

Thanks again, firefly! Hope you consider the suggestions.
