Okay probably quite alot of us use the Quick Reply box in threads, however I have a suggestion, sometimes when i reply to a thread, i use an attachment to show or help with the question. Is there anyway of the Attachment

going with the quick reply?

Something like this...

I use quick reply, but if I ever need to attach something I click preview then do it. I dunno, I think that attachment box would look a bit ugly where it's wanted. o.o

if you attach a file to go with your quick reply, then its not 'quick' at all :grin:

J/k  it is a considerable option. ..but if its simple its better


RE: Quick Reply: by mwe99 on 08-27-2005 at 09:56 PM

Yeah i know the simpleness but if you dont wanna attach something you just ignore the tiny bar :P


RE: Quick Reply: by qgroessl on 08-27-2005 at 10:09 PM

Or it wouldn't even have to be a bar... there could be a little arrow on the side that if you clicked it a little menu would come up with the smileys, attatchments, things like that.... And you could click one and that way people could "quickly" add attatchments, emoticons (if they don't know the keyboard shortcut like me), and maybe even font colors and things.

It dosnt really look nice how you've shown it I much prefer the way Ive intergrated it so its trigged with a button click.
it just looks out of place [Image: xso_undecided.gif]

i use it ftw!!!

I think when you come to add an attachment your post has to be pretty good, usually long enough. Therefore, I think most ppl use the post page

[SNIPPED]

The purpose of the quickreply is that it is quick without needing to load extra images for buttons, scripts for functions and other controls (the whole bar on top of your sshot). With that bar (and other bells and whistles) it will even slowdown the page loads when viewing a thread.

The quick reply is very good as it is, if you want to attach something, choose "preview".

Anyways, this has been discussed before, as WDZ has pointed out. No need for a second thread about it...

I think it would defeat the point of "Quick reply".
