Yeah, clicking on the reply button is hard. Not only thiat, but it takes so very long! :eyes:

To be honest, having to slow down long enough to hit reply is a good thing.

So...Is fast replying truly worth skipping a silly, low-bandwidth page even on dial-up? >.>

I'd also be comfortable with a quick reply function in this forum. Many other forums that I'm in does have one.

Is it possible to have a SpellCheck button in the quick reply, in case you administrators consider about adding them to this forum?

Quick reply has been brought up in the past. We've said "no" every time. As far as I know, the forum isn't anywhere near destroying Ryouko's bandwidth.

While a quick reply function COULD be implimented with PHP, I don't think any of the admins have the knowledge, let alone the time, to code that. Now, if there's a readily available mod for phpBB, I'd suggest implimenting it (if it's easy enough), but honestly there's no real point... very few people are still on dail-up and the post page comes up fairly quickly.

I'm in another forum which runs on PHPbb, and it has a quick reply function.

I have a great idea for you pertaining to bandwidth. An imageless theme for the fourm. I know they exist beacuse I've seen them before.

The forum doesn't really use that much bandwidth...

I can ask Nobi to look into a quick reply feature, if that many people want it.

Speaking as a person who actually has dial-up, I'd just like to get in my two cents and say that a quick reply isn't needed, at least in my opinion. Ask anyone who talks to me regularly, and they'll tell you my connection is one of the slowest around xD; Yet the reply page comes up fast enough for me ^^ Heck, I've been on forums that have had quick reply, and I never used it myself.

If there are still a whole bunch of people who want it then sure, add it. I'm just one of the ones who thinks it's not needed, dial-up and all ^^;

*shrug* I just think that quick reply will encourage people to put down the first thought they have instead of taking a moment to consider their reply before the page loads.
