will there be an option to have a quick reply editor just like other forum platforms? (xenforo/vbulletin/mybb) - so users won't have to click the add reply everytime they will post.

Hey Wendell,

As far as I'm aware there isn't really a need for 'Quick Reply'.

Most other forum software I've used reloads the page entirely taking you to a new page with a full editor when clicking 'Reply'. All 'Quick Reply' does it keep you on the topic page while opening a text box or a less functional editor. Since we open the full editor inline without the need for a page load I'm not sure what a use of 'Quick Reply' could involve.

Please elaborate if I've missed the point there..

good point lke, never thought of it that way.

since im new and i just installed the forum on my site, have a series of questions (hope you wont mind).

the first one is, if a user is mentioned how will he/she be notified? do you have a notification system here in the forum?

No problem! Here to help..

When a user is mentioned such as @hoopsph it displays a notification in the header of the forum (underneath search).

nice! that's a great feature! i will be compiling all my other questions and post them tomorrow.

last for this thread: is it possible to change 'thanks' to 'like'? im currently using xenforo and the 'like' button is used a lot.

But you do need to install our 'mentions' plugin for that of course...

no, if you quote a mention you are rementioning that person, that's why it showed up twice

that makes nosense at all. why would you want to be notified of something that you did? like i said im using xenforo in one of my sites and that never happens. anyway, that question was intended for an admin of this forum.

@yellow-swordfish i believe this is something that should be fixed.
