Scene as tough the reply/edit/thread page is slow in loading I was wondering if it was possible to have a quick edit like there is a quick quote and a quick reply. What do you think?

Blah... so it would only show the text in the post and none of the emoticons, title and stuff? Sounds a good idea.

I edit my posts all the time... and other peoples.

Something that only displayed the text and none of the other crap that means nothing to what I want to edit would be faster. That would help me a lot.

I don't get how it could work with there being loads of posts on one page...Where would the quick edit box be on the page?...

It doesnt have to be on the same page? it could be a popup, or even a new page that only displayed the text. The point in the idea is so it speeds up people editing, instead of waiting for ages for all the emoticons and stuff to load on the editpost.php page.

If WDZ implements it correctly, he can do the quick reply be filled with the code of the post to edit and when you press the post reply button (that would be renamed to edit) it'd edit the post.

People need to stop being lazy?

Its a page that takes a few seconds to load.

well I don't mind having a quick editbox, although I wouldn't mind not having one either It's not like I have to edit in a record-speed.. It could be useful for some people, but basically, it doesn't really matter for me

It is indeed very long, especially if you cleared your cache before (and I'm on ADSL)... Another possebility is to make a checkbox in your User Control Panel to check if you want the emoticons and "richtext"-emoticons to show up or not (I never use those emoticons anyway, the most I use is the link to the smilies and I type my mybb codes myself)

i think a little pop-up box with it would be cool.

yeah the page also takes ages to load for me, it always has done,  sounds like a ghood idea to me

Wow! People actually like my idea. Well i'm on a DSL aswell and it also takes ages. Also WDZ was complaining he had nothing to do.

I think it would be great, but not absolutely necessary. I'm on 56K modem and it takes some time to load, especially when I'm downloading some stuff and have no bandwidth left

Yeh i think a very basic popup with no flash extra buttons just

'qucik edit' - i.e. quick to load would be nice. It would speed things up and make everything alot smoother.

SideNote - Seems to me we have all got very lazy lol First everyone in the forum worlds wanted quick searches, quick replys and new edits. Hmm makes you wonder that it might even be better to make an entire foum system that just used 'quick options as its what people seem to prefere.
