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 fixed this by adding the USERNAME input box from the REGISTER page.
If you are logged in it overrides it though. Meaning if you enter TEST as username it will take your logged in name (which is good). If you are not logged in it will USE what you entered in the box.
However while that override is good i'd rather have it just DID NOT appear if the user is regged.
Is there a way to only show the quick reply for users who are logged in?
I allow guests to post, but would prefer if unregistered users post with the standard full post screen:
1.) So that they can enter their name in the username field (so the post is posted from John LastName/Guest User rather than Unregistered/Guest User)
2.) To reduce spam. I really want this to be avaible for registered logged-in users to make posting for them quicker, but I don't want to make it too easy for visitors to spam my board, even though I do want to allow guest users to post (just not this easily
Has anyone tried to make it so the quick reply box only appears on the last page of the thread (so people won't reply having read only the first page without reading the whole thread first?)
Hmmm. The fix i did to allow a username box seems to have backfired. It works great for unregged users however if you are registered and you type in a username the post is MADE AS YOUR REGGED NAME BUT if you look at the thread it says Last post by "username you entered" and not the one you where logged in. It also does this on the mainpage. Firefly any help plz ?
How could make this hack automatically subscribe to the just replied thread if the user config has subscription enabled ?
Is the proper hidden var enough ?

Ok
It seems to work on most of the threads if used on "Page 1" and not on pages 2-3 etc. However on some pages it won't work on "Page 1" and they don't have multiple pages.

see,
This is why i opted for a paying solution rather than using one of those free boards on the net.
