The 'Fast reply' feature?

[R@d14nc3]

I am really wondering why it seems the use of a fast reply is understimated here in these forums.

Is there something that disallows its usage? it shouldn't be used?

Could someone of high knowledge in this point answer this?

I would really fancy this feature in these forums

It just encourage people to spam, because they go "Hey, I can reply really quick, and continue viewing my threads", instead of having to think about replying.

is it the only reason?

Or there are more?

You know, after having to read your posts for today, that feature is turned off precisely because of members like you.
You already spam every thread in existance with generally unhelpful "post-count" posts.

I can only imagine what it would be if "fast-reply" were enabled.


Either that, or it's simply off because it hasn't been turned on.
No special reason.

I'm sorry? I have explained multiple times why I get sometimes mistaken in WE things.

hmmm...now that you mention it, I didn't see that feature even older...

Ok, I get the point.

I have no more thoughts on this.

Well if quick reply is off, then why am I writting a quick reply right now?

 

[Amfidamant]

Perhaps Thehelper has turned this feature on. Perhaps, It's turned on only for the group of people formerly known as SM's

It is funny. People just don't know how to use the quick reply. I am using it right now, simply because I can. I actually prefer the... slow reply (for lack of an actual name.) Really, I see that people spam the threads already without this being obscenely obvious how to use. Imagine if it were like in other forums, where you just click in the message box and start typing. We would probably see much shorter posts, simply because it is harder to gague the length of your message in this little box. I predict that this message will be much shorter than my average.

I think is on for everyone.... As I know, there's no such user group...

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

There should be forced in a message lenght quota!

Can I turn off quick reply in my user options, I don't like it down here, and it adds anouther icon...

I don't like how you have to click a button to turn it on. But otherwise I think that it is a good feature. Often times you do not need the additional interface options and can simply post text. And I think that if someone would spam it wouldn't matter the speed, it's still spam. Quick reply is a tool, and the user determines how that tool is utilized.

> I don't like how you have to click a button to turn it on.

That's something the official doc calls "strongly recommended".

I don't like it, its uglying up my computer screen.

Quoted for truth. I dont like it. Its ugly, and i never use it. Atleast give us an option to turn it off.

I noticed that when you use it, your post count doesn't show an increase on your posts besides the quick reply one. Funny.

Can you rephrase that, I have no idea what you mean...

 

[phyrex1an]

Just use the quick reply function in this thread and compare the Post count displaying in your new post and the one above this one. They wont be the same

This is an known issue that wont be fixed, and your real post count is updated so it isn't that big problem anyway.

 

[InfectedWithDrew]

I know. I find it funny though, becuase I love pointing out error. If you knew me in real life you would get irritated whenever I correct your grammar.

It's good for people on 56k, because you don't have to go through as many pages.
