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.
i just quoted the post where you mentioned me and there’s another notice of myself mentioning – myself – is that a glitch?
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.
Then I will thank kvr28 for adding his comment and perhaps you could be a little more polite to people who try and help out with comments and advice.
As to your last assertion then as Simple:Press is clearly not xenforo I see no relevance to how it does something that we may do differently. In my own opinion I don’t see it as a bug but I will leave that decision to @mr-papa who wrote the plugin and may feel differently.

excuse me, i wasn’t being rude. i was just stating a fact.
if you don’t want to use xenforo, then take the case of facebook – you don’t get notified when you comment on our own posts.
just the phase itself is wrong – ‘Wendell Fadul mentioned YOU’ – that obviously pertains to two persons, not one.
also, my message was clearly directed at @ike, so its only fair the he be the one to answer my question.
anyway, im not here to start an argument okay, im here for support. i paid a substantial amount and just want answers to my questions. thanks.
Unfortunately I would have given you the same answer. I’m not a plugin developer so I also would have passed the question on to Mr Papa who wrote the plugin.
As to not being rude, Andy didn’t say you were. kvr28 doesn’t work for Simple:Press and doesn’t have to help out, but we greatly appreciate it when our users offer help to others even when it’s not necessarily the answer you wanted. The site admins here are never far away and we read every post so if further help is needed one of us will answer. In this case Mr Papa being in the states and at work should be around shortly.
have your questions been answered? think so, but correct me if wrong and we can address…
I can say we have discussed in past whether quoting should trigger a mention and have concluded yes each time… of course, its an opinion and open to differing opinions… If I was mentioned in the post, whether via quoting or via a new direct mention, its still me being mentioned… what I can do is look into whether that can be overridden via a hook or other method…
you also mentioned like vs thanks… yes, assuming we are talking about the thanks post plugin here… the text strings are controlled via the thanks post admin panel in components and in the template tags used in your sp theme for displaying the buttons and stuff…
@mr-papa
hello. what’s just weird is the phrase – ‘Wendell mentioned you’. that shouldn’t be the case, you only use that when 2 people are involved.
the system should ignore that action, just a suggestion.
