WHY, oh why does the new topic button have to be beside the reply button? When I am reading a thread, yeah, sure, I might be struck with the need to make a new topic, but more than likely I want to reply to the thread. I've must have done it seven times today (exaggeration), clicking http://www.eyesonff.com/forums/images/newthread.gif instead of http://www.eyesonff.com/forums/images/reply.gif and typing out a response, only to notice it says "Submit New Thread" at the bottom. X_x And that's on the days I am smart enough to actually read; the rest of the time, I just click away and blink at the error page, where it says I should make sure all the fields are replied to.

Just a suggestion, you know. Get rid of it for the sake of stupid people!

Just use the quick reply page template. Then your reply box is set apart from those silly buttons.

That's just how it is. I leanred that Add Reply is closest to the scrollbar to the right, so it should be easier to click if you scroll up by the scrollbar. It's not that tough.

I've made that mistake quite a few times. Nothing big.

Well you can always copy/paste your stuff into a new browser tab on the correct submission form :p

Is it me, or do those two images have different backgrounds?

I do the same thing. That's why I love quick reply xD

I actually like it that way. It always bugs me when they do it differently at other forums.

I've never used quick reply. What's so great about it?

I've never used it, either. I guess it's just faster... hence... the name. ._.

Yeah, I've clicked New Topic before too. I usually catch myself before posting, though.

How else can you account for ungodly post counts?

The Man
02-10-2004, 06:43 PM
Not through Quick Reply; I had an ungodly post count long before they installed the hack :p

Quick reply is ugly, just like everyone here.

Especially you Yams

And as for 'new reply' and 'add reply', why don't you people just read what you click?

The Man
02-10-2004, 10:56 PM
Because that would require too much effort, obviously.

One thing I don't understand is why the hell one of them has a background and the other doesn't.

The Man

If you want, I can make a background-less version of Add Reply when I get home and then you can upload it.

Sounds good. Attach it to this thread and someone should upload it or something. I'm-a go bed soon, so yeah.

Far from it. BoBBye is my quit/exit saying, not my going to bed saying. :)

You could always fix the Closed one's background though, Man :p Heck, make one with Annifont too if you want :p

The Man
02-10-2004, 11:53 PM
I always wondered why the Closed one was in a different font.

I'd say I'd do it, but I know Unne will beat me to it. So it's worthless.
