Northmont Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I agree, that would be cool. (I know I tried it before just to see if it would work.... it didn't) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ee11 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Yep :) And there's an easy way to do it, just put a div with a unique ID around the content of each post and fetch it via dividhandle.innerHTML from the list of topics in the multi quite list. :) There could even be a button that says "paste multi-quote" for it to be optional.

As has been discussed before, the mere point of "fast reply" is not having the bloat of quotes, etc. The more features get added to fast reply, the less "fast" it actually will be. Use the normal reply if you want the quote features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ee11 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I really dont think having quotes will detract from it's 'fastness', and inner HTML seems to work on most browsers so thats ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostedPopTart Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Here is how I see Fast Reply: 1. Open box if it is not already there. 2. Type reply, adding markup as you go.* 3. Send reply. 4. Done with reply. 5. Move on to next thread. 6. Repeat steps 1-5 and 6 as necessary. * = If you do not know necessary markup, a link to said markup should be coded into the fast reply window.

Dlf Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 That would be nice. I love using Fast Reply, but I can never quote like 2 or more people with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dªn Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 The only way it would would be if you could select one quote, and reply directly to that quote by writing your response in Fast REply, and IPB automatically adds the selected quote above your post as it parses it. However you'd not be able to edit the quote, or multi-quote. Fast reply is for fast replies, it's not possible to do what you want without making the page reload.

Its annoying having to reply the long way if i want to quote someone<{POST_SNAPBACK}> No its stupid, fast reply is just to add a fast reply not to add quotes and things like that. How can you effectively multi quote people using fast reply. If you want to use quotes and things like that then use the proper reply button instead of being lazy. How lazy are people getting... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheule Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 How lazy are people getting... :rolleyes: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed. Fast reply is exactly that, keep the bloat away! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuksel Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 It must be possible with IFrames... Only the fast reply box will reload... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vatoloco Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I was surprised when it didn't work. I thought for sure it would. It just seemed logical. There is another site I visit all the time (running vB) that has something similar. Basically, you click the little reply button and it automatically shoots you down to the fast reply box. You don't see the quoted message in the fast reply box, but it does show up in your post when submitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Agreed. Fast reply is exactly that, keep the bloat away! :)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Only things I would like added to the Fast Reply are the smilies and to be able to use the alt+(code) for bold/italics/etc. That way it's a mini-express-reply box :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_B Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 If ya get the bbcode extension for FireFox, you can do just about anything in fast reply. It's an awesome tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Fast reply & Regular reply = Express checkout and Regular checkout Express checkout = (9,10,15,20) items or less Fast reply = limited extras for replying to the topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
