Quick Reply

[#1]

One of our members who was visiting from another forum that uses vBulletin asked me why there was no Quick Reply box in Lithium's platform.  I decided to make this a suggestion as I've found that option to be very useful in forums I've visited that have it.

It's simply a feature at the end of a thread that allows a quick response to the thread as a whole without having to open another page.  Simply scroll to the bottom of the thread, key your reply in the box and hit post.  There are minimal editing options available, but it's pretty handy for a truly quick, one or two sentence response that doesn't require quoting or much in the way of editing features.

I agree a quick reply would a great addition to lithium. The only major con IMO would be that it could potentially make it easier for people to easily and quickly post "junk" posts and content. Although I'm confident with strong communities and Mods, this shouldn't be an issue.

I also think we should push for the visiblity of a "quote" button or option in thead messages.

Yes yes yes, we've heard this request too - it would be a great addition!  Is there any ETA for launch of this feature?

Thanks for the support, LauraBPin and helping to bring this back to mind!  (My, the Lauras are taking over - perhaps I should start going by my first name which is .... Laura, too!!)
