installed the normal version and no answers when quotating because my board has lots of hacks and a heavy skin.

Installed ALT version and now it works like a charm

I would like it that when you click the quick reply button, it takes you down to the box as the normal quickreply does. Is this easy to do?

Whenever I use the alt version I'm missing the 'message' field. Everything else looks fine.

I tried both the normal and "alt" versions, and with both installs I got the blank reply that showed only what was quoted.

Yeh this is great, thanks.

I too had to use the alt version otherwise the message text never showed.

It would be nice if the edit box used the full window width and if smilies were included But thank you all the same, much appreciated.

i just wanted to point out a bug here, in the alt download, the second template edit for pm_newpm, accually says pm_showpm, thats confusing so u should reallly change it to the right thing

is there a way to make this thing so it is like the postbit quick reply?

why do u need it to be exactly like the page u would get if u clicked the reply button? thats like i dunno, thats lame, this hack is just like erwins

I'm still not able to use either 101 version and that's with all PM related hacks uninstalled. So I'm still stuck with the original version with the repeating 'RE:' problem.

[nicedreams]

what about the smilies box? Can that be added?
