[Forum] Reply button for guests

[vexxy]

I've seen that when a guest visits the forum, the Post Reply button does not appear. While this may seem logical, I want it there for guests too since if they click on it, they will be sent to create an account. How do I enable this? I've went through the SHOWTHREAD template and I found this conditional

<vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">

but even if I comment it, the button will not appear.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that is almost a regression, in the past we always showed the reply button to guests.

You could remove the conditional all together.

Please vote to have it fixed.

it may be a regression, but unfortunately not all users understand why there's no reply button when they don't have an account. So I agree with you, but it's a necessity, at least for my forums. As for the conditional I removed the if, but with no luck, guests can't see the button. Is there another conditional that I need to look at?

I've create a product that consists of a single option and two plugins to restore this functionality. You can see it at http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=277324

Any questions about the product need to be asked at the link above. For it to work, you would have to restore the conditions. It works based on the pre-existing conditionals.
