Quick Reply - Give it a try

[jmurray01]

Well that is where we're different - I hate change!

But, on this occasion it isn't too bad, minus the errors...

Well, actually...that's why we did it.
We took a poll (What can we do to piss off the wee bonnie laddie from Scotland?)...change the forum format was the top choice.

What Bill is talking about should not be happening I think. When clicked "Reply" the box to type in was at the very bottom of my screen, with "reply" and "reply with quote" just above that. If I type in the box, and click "reply" I get asked if I want to leave the page. But if I scroll down just a bit, I see under the box we type in "Post Quick Reply." I will click that now, but when I do, I don't expect to get asked if I want to leave the page. I expect my post to simply appear. I will edit to tell the outcome.

Edit: It said to the left of the "Post Quick Reply" button "Posting Quick Reply" and them immediately, I could see the post. There was no query about leaving the page for me.

I must say, I'm getting used to the "quick reply". :thumbsup:

Hi Everybody,

I've been looking into the options and functionality of quick reply and I think utilizing the quick reply option makes sense for several reasons. I've enabled this feature and would like for you to give it a try. Here's how it works:

- Every thread has reply buttons at the top and bottom. Clicking one of them jumps you to the bottom of the thread where the quick reply box is. If you want the full reply page, click "go advanced" at the bottom right corner of the box.

:thumbsup:

I have no problems or preferences with any of the reply functions, but, per your original post, I don't see any reply buttons at the TOP of each thread. (I don't mind that it's not there).

Testing, testing, testing....

Tried what EE Bota suggested....

 

[JDgreen227]

For some weird reason most of the time I cannot post using the quick reply tab that EE Bota mentioned....and if I do get it thru I have to try several times and keep seeing the message "do you want to leave this page?"

Still no luck here with quick reply

Bill,

I've seen the error you describe but not from quick reply...

If I use the grey bar at the bottom of your post and hit reply or reply with quote, it works fine. I think I only have problems with the gray button "+reply to thread".

It is ESSENTIAL when you finish typing in the quick reply box that you select the button "post quick reply".

I hope I'm not offending you, just trying to help...

Good Gravy Batman!!!!

Soon as I hit "post" I got the "do you want to leave this page" error!

You are cursed my brudder, you have clearly offended the demons of IT and must jump into a volcano to fix things...

Sorry man, I will miss you, but it is your density...

Bill,

Make some room in that volcano... Seems now I'm cursed too... QR was giving me fits this morning on "seat time" thread...

I will say I am not fond of the QR photo attachment utility. I MUCH prefer the new attachment manager in Advanced...
