quick reply is evil and corrupts our children.

I myself use the "slow reply", I like to think my answer through and check it several times before posting.

Take care all.

I've always used 'slow reply', but then I don't like radically changing stuff.
However, with the glory of VB3 upon us, quick reply is now available at the touch of a button, at any time, in any thread. Neat-o.

Fast reply doesn't have smilies. I posted like ten posts with the :D smilie before I realised it and went berzerk. After murdering all of Canada I fixed my posts.

YAY

Quick reply allows me to get more things done in less time. Normal reply is a bit of a pain with dialup.

Advantage: Quick Reply

'Quick Reply' doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I used that particular feature all the time before EoFF was upgraded to this version of VBulletin. The only reason I'm not using it now is because I can't find the option to turn it on.

I'm going to look at the 'Style' options.

I use quickreply. I know all the codes for the smilies I use by heart so that isn't a problem. I just personally think it's unnecessary to use slow reply when there's a box at the bottom of every thread page. There's nothing that keeps me from double-checking my post or even edit it just because I post it with quick-reply.

I hate Quick Reply, of course. I like Yeats though.

Quick reply makes me sad.

I have memorized all the smileys and all the HTML codes I use in my post, so why should I have to click and go to an extra screen before I post? This way I can review the entire thread while I write my reply without having to click anything extra.

I used to reply normally but once quick reply appeared I started to use it frequently.

Both, but mostly "slow" reply.

Quick Reply = <3

Yes, Quick Reply is less than 3. Don't doubt it!

Yeats is clearly greater than Quick Reply.

They say I don't think too often, so quick reply is my thing...

I disapprove of the quick reply feature. It makes things too easy.

Welcome to the Internet, Yams. Everything here is supposed to be easy.

I know nothing of this quick reply thing. I just type and post as I always have

Wow, I should get some more rest, I thought "Yeats" said "Yeast" and was attempting to figure out where in the blue sky that came from..

Take care all.

Quick Reply is nice :p

For those slow members that still haven't worked it out, you can toggle it in your User CP :p

Quick is spiffy.

I'm not bother at all with the absense of quick reply. Some may find it more helpful, others not. For me, I like it because it's just one page less to load and I have the previous post right there to read so I can see it to know what I'm replying to.

I like The Second option, Coming before the first. In other words: Slow reply is best.

Slow reply might be better for you people with super fast connections, but you gotta think that not all of us see the same colour of card as you.
I have 28.8kmodem and it is so boring clicking reply, waiting for the page to load and then messing around some more submitting.
Quick reply is just the feature people like me need stop being so [ :mad2: ]

Everything he said, except 56K instead of 28.8.

It's beautiful, eest. :cry:

I use "slow reply" because of a few reasons, such as:

1) It actually takes a fair bit more time to load up a page with quick reply than one without, and as I view thread pages more often than I post, I like to be able to do so quickly.

2) It's bleedin' ugly.

Wheres the option for users to be allowed to have quick reply? You can't all be stuck up surely. I'm just saying that because I'm usin

User CP > Edit Options, then go to the bottom of the page because for some reason the admin who set it up decided to put it down as a misc option rather than a thread display option.
