cvxdes Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Idea.. For people with dialup, this helps out a hell of a lot... Mabe you could somthing similar to fastreply? Here, i photoshopped it: Also, On the subject, You should improve fastreply.. Add more functions... Another photoshop: Hope its concidered! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I definately agree with your second idea; allow for rich-text editing in Fast Reply. It could be a per-user option, like it is with the post screen. As for the first idea, I know MyTopix allows for "Qwik Topic," and while not terribly useful, it does save one screen.

cvxdes Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Well, If your on dialup (I was when i posted this) its takes about a min to load.. Then i type, brings me to a "Thanks" screen, then sends me to the topic. If you make this liks fast reply, the javascript will open it, then it could go straight to the topic.. Could make it so you can turn it on/off in the ACP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 The whole point of fast reply is its supposed to be fast. WYSIWIG might be nice, but for those with dialup its pretty slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, i photoshopped it: --(image removed)-- Also, On the subject, You should improve fastreply.. Add more functions... Another photoshop: --(image removed)-- Hope its concidered! :D How about this... "FastPost" It opens up a box, "Post as New topic" checkbox would open up "Title" and "Description". If it's a new topic, the submit button changes to "Add new topic", otherwise it says "Add reply". Also the smilies I can see being useful, but not the RTE.

Why Two Kay Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Well, If your on dialup (I was when i posted this) its takes about a min to load.. Then i type, brings me to a "Thanks" screen, then sends me to the topic. The "Thanks...." redirect pages can be disabled in the ACP. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlf Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 The "Thanks...." redirect pages can be disabled in the ACP. :D Though think of normal everyday (joe) members. Some people may want the "Thanks" pages. The admin and members may not be good with IPB, also the admins "support 'license' " may have run out when someone asks him to remove the "thanks" screens. Good idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 How would a license affect the thanks page? *confused* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 The whole point of fast reply is its supposed to be fast. WYSIWIG might be nice, but for those with dialup its pretty slow.That's why I suggest it be a per-user setting, like on vBulletin. You can choose between Standard, Medium, and full WYSIWYG editing.

Wolfie Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 [offtopic] I'm imagining IPB being like the Titanic.. Each additional option being an extra passenger. So many options that the thing just sinks from being overbloated. I'm not dropping any hints or anything, it was just a comical thought that I had and thought I would pass it along. :lol: [/offtopic] I think using the Fast Reply, but adding the ability to make it act as a New Topic function would be rather cool.

SGS International Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 But the Titanic didn't sink from being overloaded. It struck and iceberg. :rolleyes: [offTopic] Actually, the Titanic didn't sink at all. It was its sister ship, the Olympia. The Olympia had had an accident some time before, and the White Star Line couldn't claim the insurance, so they set up a conspiracy and set out to switch the two ships with the intent of hitting the iceberg and claiming the insurance money. The actual Titanic was scrapped some time after, having never set sail. [/offTopic] I think Fast New Topic would be a good idea, but only if it was stripped down, like Fast Reply is now. No Rich Text, no extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvxdes Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 [offtopic] No one commenting on my photoshopping? :P [/offtopic] Mabe the button could be "Fast topic" and kill the smilies? but the formatting is good for the.. *cough* n00bs *cough* lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krocheck Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Okay ... this has been said many times, but for the noobs here it is again ... Fast Reply is meant to be exactly that ... a fast, simple way to reply to a topic. The current Fast Reply loads quickly. Putting the RTE will be a waste of time and a waste of bandwidth. If for some reason you can't remember that is for bolding then click Add Reply and use the RTE. As for the Fast Topic I am partial ... although leaning towards a no verdict. There have been petitions for new topic and reply functionality to be added into the lofi-version. If that is actually done, then you dail-up people (no offense, I am one myself during the summer) will have a really fast version to use with no graphics to slow you down.

Wolfie Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I still like the thought I had on it - have an option to check that would turn the fast reply into a fast topic. That way it's all there, quick and simple. No need to load the kitchen sink just to have a box to type in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
