Quote to Quick Reply Anchor
« on: January 04, 2012, 10:01:28 pm »
Could we do something so the page doesn’t always jump right to the quick reply box at the bottom when I hit the quote for a post? If there is a post I want to quote, I hit quote, whether or not I am done reading all the posts on the thread. I do not want to hae to scroll back and try to remember who I am quoting. Sometimes I also want to quote several posts. Jumping right to the Quick Reply box results often results in a lot of unnecessary scrolling back up.

That's actually how I like it with simple machines.  You quote, and it goes down to quick reply.  It's not that hard to scroll back up though.

Ironbite-and I think it's part of the code of the forums.

It is not hard, but it is annoying and redundant. Especially when trying to do a multi-quote.

Actually, if Simple Machines can run a multi-quote system similar to the one used by vBulletin, that would be good as well. I would use that instead of Quick Reply.

I’d rather do one of these than have to open a bunch of tabs and then do a bunch of copy ‘n’ paste to make my multiquotes.

Speaking of QR, can I somehow get it to be open by default? This way eats my text if I somehow refresh.
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.
For I was an hungred, and ye told me to pull myself up by my bootstraps: I was thirsty, and ye demanded payment for the privilege of thine urine: I was a stranger, and ye deported me: naked, and ye arrested me for indecency.

Go to your Profile->Look and Layout. The second to last item is “Use quick reply on topic display.”  Select “show, on by default.”
