If quickreply is active you can still reply to very old threads which gets denied if you click on the reply button.

That should be fixed

This hack kicks serious ass. Thanks a lot Kirby! My forum staff and I have been struggling with bumps for years and this is a big sigh of relief.

@StarBug
Hmm ... QR should be covered as well.
Are you sure that it does not work for QR?

I don?t know what happened as I posted this but I can?t reproduce this.

Maybe I forgot to check the checkbox and got confused
It is working fine.

Thank you

How would I change the phrase from "solves no purpose" to "serves no purpose"?
