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.

I know something that works on 2.0.3, it's called "Check me out I hack your board in 2 seconds!"... upgrade, for your own sake.

I followed the directions, but my reply box shows up at the top rather than the bottom? How do I fix this? Thanks!

Anyone?

This is a common problem, read the rest of the thread and you will find your answer.

Hi FireFly,

First off, great hack, thanks very much for your efforts, my users love it to death. I am however getting stick for the fact it doesn't subscribe users to threads who requested such in the UserCP. How can I make it subscribe to threads if they have the option by default in the UserCP, and not if they don't? I've tried to figure it out myself by checking the existing posting code, but couldn't see how vB have done it.

Any help appreciated.

but when you close a thread you can still reply from the quick reply box.

any ideas how to fix this
