Quick Reply Button?

[Tony Tony Tony]

Don't suppose anyone can tell me what the quick reply button on here does?

Apart from replying quickly obvs.

[zomgmouse]

Means you can reply from within the same page instead of loading a new reply page.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

It sends an automatic notification to Barry Admin and he will write a reply in your name, no further effort required.

[Dex Sawash]

With Quick-Reply you can write a post when viewing a topic without loading a new page. You can still use bulletin board code and smileys as you would in a normal post.

Feck me that would be quick!

I'm now ruefully pondering all the time I've wasted in the past by opening a new page. I feel like I have wasted so much of my life that I could have spent curing cancer or something like that.

[zomgmouse]

there's kilobytes at stake, to be fair

[Tony Tony Tony]

Using the time saved on discovering this magic button I have now learned how to add a vote thingy.

Enjoy.

[chveik]

lovely stuff

[touchingcloth]

It doesn't do anything. It's just there for psychological reasons, like the buttons on traffic lights.

Is there a quick (Or not so quick) way of locating this Quick Reply button? Or is it just a question of waiting till someone eventually reveals the secret?

[madhair60]

You have to enable it from your Look and Layout settings

I haven't done so because unlike most people on here I actually take time to Think about my posts.

You'll shit brix when you see it

[zomgmouse]

down the bottom of the page

[steve98]

O right. Cheers.

EDIT to add. ... There's nothing there (at the bottom.) Forget it: Slow Replies are fine.

[Butchers Blind]

Just done it. Now feel part of the gang.

[BlodwynPig]

ah here it is.

what is quick-moderation?

Ah, got it, thanks. Feeling pretty smug about being part of the Quick Reply Clique now. Being part of the QRC is way more important than thinking about my posts.

[Johnny Yesno]

Wait a minute, though. I had to use the regular method to make that previous post. Is this, i.e. making posts with laboriously typed BBCode and wailing about the injustice of it all, all quick reply can do? I'm going off it already.

[Johnny Yesno]

I turned it on in my settings and nothing happened. Perhaps Barry prefers all-in moderation.

Edit: actually, I'm wrong. Some checkboxes appeared on the right hand side of the page at the end of each topic. So what do I do now with this new power?

[touchingcloth]

The most useful thing about the QRB is being able to see more than just the past 5 posts when writing your reply, which is handy in those threads where you quoting a lot of different posts at once. Quote a whole god damn page if you want.

[Tony Tony Tony]

Can I quote you on that?

[idunnosomename]

wow this is a gamechanger

[Endicott]

Can I introduce you to the concept of having two (or more!) pages open at once?!!

[katzenjammer]

This is a quick reply test. Testing. Testing

[katzenjammer]

Amazing

Give it a go, it shouldn't do anything and I can check the moderation logs. Slightly surprised those icons show tbh; might be because those who very kindly support the site get the option to update their profile text, and can also edit anything in the (shit and dead) hidden forum.

It allows you to select individual threads to mark as read.
Tick one or more, then use pull-down at bottom and only 2 choices I get are 'mark read' and 'nuke this account'

Oh, that is good, actually. It pops multiple quoted posts into the same reply. For example...

I see. So, I've ticked all the checkboxes and selected 'nuke this account'. What now?
