[Forum] How to turn off automatic quick reply

[Adam H]

Ive got members complaining that the forum now goes straight to quick reply when pressing the reply to thread button , i want the quick reply to remain in the thread so switching it off isnt the answer but how can i set it so that when "reply to thread" is pressed it goes to the usual advanced editor ?

You can't I believe, but you can inform your members to double click the reply button to open the full reply page, but agree there should be an option to set it how you suggest

AdminCP > Settings > Options > Message Posting and Editing Options > Quick Reply > No.

haha i never knew that , however i think there should be an option to set it as default , its alot of hassle to tell 10,000 plus members that they now have to double click the reply button , you can gaurantee that 75% of them wont listen and will still be asking the same question over and over lol .

Even if i have to do it via MySQL could some one please tell me how to set it as default

Sorry. That's what I get for reading too quick.

I don't have that issue on my site. Hmm. Weird.

An easy fix for this is just to remove the Reply to thread-id that triggers the javascript.

In template SHOWTHREAD search for "newreplylink_top" and "newreplylink_bottom" and just rename them. Then will you have the quick reply at the bottom but if you click on the Reply to thread-link it will go directly to the advanced reply.

You can also change this for the Reply-links, in template postbit_legacy search for qr_ and rename it.

Nice one that's fixed it

[s0lidgr0und]

Is there anything we should/shouldn't rename them to?

In a similar vein, are there any plans to do away with the double-click requirement and return the reply button to 3.8.x behaviour and make the quick-reply box collapsable again?

Thanks,

I hope so. It's pointless.

I like some of the double click features, such as marking a forum read, or closing threads, but for reply it really is not good for general useage for members.

I just added a 1 to the end of those names listed above and the reply to button works as 3.8 so "newreplylink_top1"

I made the changes and it works as I believe it should out-of-the-box.

Thanks guys.

That fixes the "+Reply to Thread" button nut not the "Reply with Quote" button, which still goes to Quick Reply.
