The Cheat Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Have you ever thought about having the forums set up so that if somebody is already logged in and visits a thread, at the bottom there is a message field that they can type their reply into instead of clicking reply to go to another page to type a reply?

Echuu Shen-Jon Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Can you do that in vBulletin? Anyways, I don't think that's a good idea! It takes longer to load a page, and if you don't want to reply, but just read, it's just in the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 i know what you mean cheat but i dont see why it needs to be included. in my opinion it only resolves im more spamming as you dont have to wait anymore for the posting page to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I've seen those things before, but it's not worth it XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 It helps 56kers a bit, but it draws spammers more. So i would doubt they would add it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheat Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 ok, i have seen it done at the James Bond forums at http://www.commanderbond.net and i thought it made it easier to post a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Apprentice Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I have used it at a forum before and since I have 56k I loved it. It may lead to spam, but isn't that why there are mods? I don't really care either way, but I would welcome it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cheat Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 yeah the one that would be at the bottom would be to type a basic reply and if you click post reply you will be taken to the normal page where you get all of the extra options 200th POST!!!

The Cheat Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 ok, well im glad that you guys are taking this suggestion seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Well i personally don't mind, but i perfer going the new post way. So i can included tags and diffrent smiles, but meh won't affect me so it's up to the admins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheat Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 yeah but if it was somebody on 56k they would probably just type at the bottom of the page so they dont have to open a new page to post a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I'm on a 56k, I'd ignore the mini reply field and use this one because it's better. It's better to encourage people to take time with their posts than to introduce a 'quick posting' system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echuu Shen-Jon Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I think Lynk is right...If there was a "quick reply" thinghy, it'd encourage people just to type: "I agree, it's a very good idea Cheat!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheat Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 I agree its a very good point Lynk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superracer0022 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 i think a reply field at the bottom would be a good idea because i am on 56k connection and i hate it when i have to go to a new page to reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Meh i personally doubt it will be added, it's better to let people think through there posts. Instead of posting quick 1 word replys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Originally posted by -=ReApEr=- Meh i personally doubt it will be added, it's better to let people think through there posts. Instead of posting quick 1 word replys. Which would create spam in the way of "yeah" and "I agree" and "Shut up". And it is the mods job to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen, but please remember, we don't like to delete posts that often because it pisses off the posters, we ususally kindly tell them to stop spamming (or join in) but with this quick post thing, they wouldn't. Invasions would be a hell of a lot easier as well, I don't trust aRSeN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoLuigi... Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 i think it makes it a whole lot easier, but then you type stuff without thinking, and then once you post it you're done, which is why i don't really like the hotel rooms here too much, but that's a good idea.

Neil, it's not Aresener's who invade you. It's XWAers and people who just drop by Aresen. The actual Areseners like myself don't really want anything to do with you. Have you ever noticed me invading your side of the forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 And me, even though im not fully Aresen. I don't want nothing to do with MI anymore, no offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
