I was wondering if there's a possibility of getting a 'Quick Reply' function implemented in this forum.

I'm talking about an area below a thread where its possible to enter a reply straight in and submit/preview.

I was only thinking the same thing yesterday. Many other forums have it. Unless your going to use emoticons or formatting, it's easier to do.

Good idea.

:D

There's plenty of 'other' web pages for that kind of thing. (Apparently :) )

What, nudity on the 'net? Yeah, right. Next you will be saying that people spend their work time trawling through the net as opposed to being productive. :wink:

Bringing this thread back on topic (who? me?), I think that functionality exists in the new release of phpbb, which(last time I checked) had still not gone GA.

No it is RC7 at the moment Gary. Seems stable enough for a small site though.

And there is no inbuilt fast reply in it still...

There is nothing to be worried about.


The last time we looked at an upgrade, we experienced serious issues in the conversion of the database, leading to the loss of something like 50% of the posts held.

For us the upgrade is a non-trivial task, because of (a) the size of our database, (b) the customisation of the front page, and (c) other enhancements we have in place.

We wasted several hours before, and I don't really want to repeat that effort, so we've decided to wait until it's GA.
