Hi,

Can we please disable the need to click the little arrow to enable the quick reply box? It's easily done in the vB administration panel.

It just wastes time, slows down reply rate, and doesn't provide any accurate statistical information anyway. I understand one certain layout uses it in order to see what people are replying to, or something, but people only ever click the last one (closest to the box) anyway.

This is one of the only forums I know to use this, ubuntuforums being the other, and it's the sole reason I don't post as much, it truly annoys me.

The idea to remove the need for the icon got overwhelming support at Ubuntuforums, but nobody important took any action, and I've basically stopped visiting there. I just hope that although the administration is the same here maybe they'll think differently.

Anyone else agree with me here? Shouldn't we just have an active box at the bottom of each page? "Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply." is just an annoyance.

Matt
