This forum would be pretty freaking sweet outfitted with a quick reply box at the bottom of threads.

I'm used to quick reply at most other forums, so it's a shock to scroll down here and not see it.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Meh, I never saw the point of those...I'd prefer they work on other things, like a spell check button or the karma system.

"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

I've really never seen the point of them. Surely if you only have a quick thing to say, you really don't need to reply in the first place. Unless every last argument you make can fit into a few short sentences, you really don't need something like that. I've seen it many times in other forums, and I don't think I've ever used it. Once.

Not a button, it's a box. It's like the reply box, but always at the bottom of thread pages. Just added for a slight extra bit of easiness.

I also use quick reply a lot on forums and it would probably help me out at times. However, i'm not sure it'll be implemented due to the fact that we don't really want to promote laziness and the normal post route is fine.

I don't care what anyone says though, it's not laziness, it's um… convenience.... ;-)

I can't speak for others, but certainly for me, that isn't the reason why i would use a quick reply.

However, i can see the point that normally, forum post boxes will have a load of formatting functions,attachment sections etc etc. This site is a little different from most, so i could certainly see a good argument against having one.

actually, if your too lazy to hit the reply button, then its probably better for the forums in general (not saying about you personally) that those users don't post.

The quick reply box is only on invision because it's so clunky and -blam!-e that it takes an hour to load the proper reply page. This is b.net, its streamlined.
