Quick Reply is used on all the best forums, im surprised that esato hasnt got one!

to the webmaster, plz get a quick reply funtion!


Posted by masseur
quick reply is a "nice to have" feature, but not a neccessity as it just saves one single click on the reply button to get to the reply box

Posted by marceta
some sweet ones also have quick buttons to quotes, text styles, etc! in my opinion, it makes ne forums easier to use!

Posted by MikLSP
I don't use any other forums so I don't know what u mean but what can be quicker than just pressing once on 'Post Reply'? Also Esato does have 'Quote' button.

Whats a quick reply? Tia

Posted by Ayush
I THINK It is a link to reply which is conviently placed at ALL replies.. beside those of quote, edit, etc... or am I mistaken??

It's a button on where you click it a new windows popups down and you can enter your message, that way you don't request a new page as you enter your message in the same page as the thread so it's easier to comment on multiple messages as you have them all right above and it may save some bandwith I think

Posted by BobaFett
Thx. Sounds interesting, but actually thats all. Other forums may have some such features, but the success doesnt depend on the those things.

Posted by Payalnik
I'll be happy with a quick reply form at the bottom of the topic page.

i don't think we NEED it....

Perhaps we could have a suggestion thread, where we can post ideas that we would like to see implemented on Esato?
A quick reply feature isn't really a necessity, but I suppose it could be useful.
I still think the 'buddy list' idea is a good one, it's being discussed in this thread: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=56408

Posted by marceta
Here is a basic quick reply! Theres are MANY that are better, but this was on hand. These are added at the bottom of all topics

@scotsboyuk - 'ataboy' nice idea! Though I think any suggestion can be first posted at the mobile free zone thread et al, until it will be transferred to the garbage thread by the mods, then it will be locked due to ongoing 'flame-war' with the thread by the mods, then it will be locked in no time! Duh, I am just speaking from experience here mate!

Posted by scotsboyuk
Hmmm ...

why dont we vote for it??

Posted by BobaFett
I would prefer the buddy list instead of quick reply. Checked it, still dont get the real meaning of it.

Posted by Residentevil
Same here I would vote for the buddy list.

quick reply macks it faster to reply thats it ,so instead of opening a new page for replying you only have to pop the box and reply on the same page

Posted by *Jojo*
But looks like @laffen is still not available to make this new project happen ?

Posted by BobaFett
@royalty thx, i understand it, but since years esato doesnt have it, so will survive hopefully the next 40 years without it too. I dont miss it, of course its mine opinion.

Posted by royalty
@bobafett NP ,ya its not a big deal but will be good to have ,the same goes for buddy list.

Posted by BobaFett
As usually, its up to @laffen...


Posted by marceta
laffen can easily get a source code for a qr easily!

Posted by bico
First the buddy list. Then... Hmm... . Then the quick reply.

Posted by GOwin
a quick reply box would only make it quicker for some to add more off-topic replies.



Posted by marceta
it would make linking, formatting, quotes and everything quciker and easier

Posted by DarkWolfX
Yea the "Quick Reply" box is really nice, because it makes the other people participate in the forum, so they don't have to click 2 buttons and write, you can only read, write at the end of the page and post; and there that's it! Very fast and very easy. It would be so good to do that, I like it a lot in other forums.

But hey, don't get angry, also Buddy List is very coool.

Posted by sn3ipen
The great thing with quick reply is that you can read the posts when you are whriting instead of using the 'topic review' function that will make one more click.

Posted by masseur
I don't use the topic review myself, I always click quote and so I have the content of what I am replying to visible and then just remove it if I am not actually going to include it in my reply.

if its easy and simple to code the script for quick reply then why not, but as I said before, its just a "nice to have", but there are probably more important new features on laffens list such as the buddy list etc that he may be spending time working on

Posted by marceta
yay, the chances are looking better

btw, wat language are these forums? phpb or some vbb?

What version of phpBB is your hack made for?

It isnt that simple since esato is runing on a older version of phpBB. Lots of the scripts in the newer versions is changed compared to the old one. So therfor your hack have to be made for this version of phpBB to work properly.

@speedoh

i dont have a clue! But the mods should at least try it

@the fags

yeah i want a medal!

Posted by Lynx69
How about when you go to the post reply and your typing it should show the last, maybe 10, replies below....like, i dare to say... Mobile9

Posted by sn3ipen
That is also a usefull future but i would rather like to se a quickreply.

Posted by batesie
im quite happy the way esato is. :-)

Posted by Lynx69
This forum, IMHO doesnt need quick reply. The feature i said would help but is also not needed, i have only had problems sometime when im typing a reply and i forget what the last person might have said etc. But i just reply with a quote to remind me then delete the quote after writing the reply.

Posted by scotsboyuk
I don't think anyone is saying that Esato 'needs' quick reply, but I suppose it would be nice; although I still think the buddy list is a more important concept.

Posted by Vlammetje
I wonder why though. i use a few other forums which have a buddy list but I've never touched. What's the extra value?
