The "Quick Reply:" box appears after the open post and before the "Threaded Mode" posts and at the end of the "Flat Mode" posts.

In both cases all readable post have a "Quick Reply" and "Quick Quote" buttons that interest people that are in a hurry to post. My experience is that even though I may start in the "Quick Reply:" box I always end up switching to the "Full Reply Screen" looking for smilies, creating links, bold text, or others.

It seems to me that the QRBox occupies a lot of space and makes the user scroll a bit extra.

I would —frankly— eliminate that box or have an option to close it.

I love the quick reply, especially if I don't have time for smileys

I love the quick reply as well ... but I'll ask if there's a user preference.

Thanks!

I like it myself.

My only problem ~ I hit preview and I'm so used to waiting, that I stare through it for a couple of beats. But I'm gettin' past that in a hurry.

Preview is nice too. I'm still getting used to the quickness as well. I'll click Preview and then go off, do some coding, etc. then I remember I don't have to wait for the page to refresh. Ah well, keeps me working I guess.

I used to play LinkLines waiting for a post to post. Verrrry Really.

i like quick reply -- i think i switch to full reply about 1/2 of the time. and often that's because i want to add a link. little do i know, links are automatically made and i don't have to switch to full reply. i'll learn that yet.

Quick reply is awesome! ...so is auto linking!

Ok, I realize now that the quick reply box is a popular feature.

How about moving it to the bottom of the threaded list when on the "Threaded Mode"?

It's at the bottom of the list of posts in the "Flat Mode"! And if you click on the "Quick Reply:" or "Quick Quote" buttons the cursor will jump directly down to it.
