So, if you are one of these users, use
second zip file which I just uploaded... pm_quick_reply_101_alt.zip (this will use the template pm_newpm instead of pm_quickreply)

hope this helps.

thanks so much, im in the process of testing it out

That worked for me ... not sure what it was that was causing the error though.

A couple more questions/requests

• Why does the quick reply button appear though? ... it doesn't do anything. Surely it would be better to use this to quote the message but not clicking it doesn't quote ... or something like that.
• Anyway of having this like the showthread quickreply ... so that the message doesn't actually appear in the box
• Anyway of reducing the amount of bbcode options to make it look more like the showthread quickreply?

Otherwise, thank you

Works great.

Thank you

Thanks for creating this product. Very much appreciated.

I did run into the blank reply issue in the first version.

I installed the alternate version and found a couple of issues in there.

The smilie box does not appear on the right side of the reply field.

Also, in your instructions where it says to add:

<if condition="$is_quick_reply">
$vbphrase[post_quickreply_private_message]
<else />
$vbphrase[post_new_private_message]
</if>

Your instruction state to place the code in the pm-showpm template where in fact is should be in the pm-newpm template.

Great work and thanks!
