Quick ReplyI understand that for some people who are on dail up and other slow internet providers like to use the quick reply feature as it can take a while to open the pages, although this feature is available to all our members it was brought in for those as stated above, i hope you like this feature and if you wish to leave any feedback about this then please feel free to.

I love the quick reply option so the members do not have to wait so long for an answer from the staff of the forum.I think it is a very helpful feature to be added to a forum.

Yup i don't think a forum is a forum in less it has this feature active.

I don't understand why forums don't have quick reply turned on from day one of the forum been created.

Yup its sad but there will alway's be someone out there ready to copy something you have done and right at this moment in time someone somewhere is copying something.
Before i made a forum i joined my friends forum which was called thegamingforum, and later i became a mod and then an admin anyway after i saw all the things an admin could do etc i was inspired and adicted so off i went to create my own forum and. Anyway i was out looking for forums to link exchange with when i came across a forum called the gaming forum i thourght it was my friends at 1st and that he had changed the forum skin, then i saw who the admin was and realised it was someone who was also a member of my friends forum and all this time he had been copying the forum and all its posts.
So some people are just sad and perthetic and i hate people who copy, if they ask then i don't mind so much but to just copy is wrong. A friend of mine made a forum and wanted me to make him some rules up so i told him to copy mine and make any changes he felt needed to be made.
On K4D's forum i told him to make a forum called staff room and another called forum archives and to make them both only visable to staff, all of my sites have them forums including this one, thats coz i think people seeing a staff room can be put off and as for the forum archives its more of a way to keep all old locked topics out of the main forum, some people who have a similar system like to have the it open for people to read but thats all they can do.
So as you can see i will happily let people copy my stuff as long as they ask 1st.

Yeah I do not know why people have to copy some one else's idea but that is part of the world we live in.If someone comes up with something cool they have to go add it. I am thankful for the ones I come up with and the ones friends add.

Yup thats the way to be and there's many things people have said and done in the past that was not taken into account back then but looking back i was wrong not to listen to them, so my advise is to alway's listen and not to be to quick to jump as the saying goes learn how to walk before running and that was my mistake, but i think i'm at jogging speed now so i'm still yet to learn how to run.

yeah.i still have alot to learn and understand how to make these templets and make the improvements on them.

Yup i have all that to learn aswell, one good thing to do is google how to understand html coding and css etc. Then when you have started to learn it you will be able to make your own codes up.

You figured this would be the easy part to setting up a forum is the quick reply box.
|
admin
|
Yup most forum hosts already have the feature instaulled you just have to activate it, but i guess some people don't like the look of them but would have a shout box or something which is not a good idea for any forum.

Hey, i have a shout box.
|
admin

 hehehehe, no it depends on the site but for some sites they are only bad news + it depends upon the level of control you and your staff have over the people who use it and what they use it for, if you and your staff have full access to editing messages and members profiles etc then your shout box is like a mini forum the shout boxes i'm talking about are the kind where anyone can post a message in them meaning no one has controle over its contents.
