At the moment, I don't believe it's a feature that's supported. However, I understand the clever people that pull the levers behind the scenes are testing the forum on a newer version of phpBB so it may be implemented when that's rolled out.

quick reply is currently not installed/available/switched on.

TBH, it's usually better to get people to consider what they are writing before they let loose the dogs of.. er.. keyboards.

can we not get a better choice off smiley's(emoticons)...most other forums have better/more humorous ones yet we only have access to the basics...

is it hard to get a better selection or does it cost...

i for one would enjoy a better selection...

thanks

If you do want Quick Reply then there is a Greasemonkey script available for FireFox that gives you that option in all phpBB-based forums. I've had it installed for a couple of years now and it's great, but I can't remember where the hell I got it from. A proper google should turn something up.

Runs fine under both XP and Vista too

You can get whatever emoticons you want as long as you're happy to host them somewhere like photobucket.

I think the 85+ emoticons available here cover most situations - if none of them fits then a selection of carefully chosen words might do the job?

If there are some specific ones you'd like to see then do make a suggestion here and if it's possible and cheap/free I expect something could be sorted out the next time there's some updating to the forum that needs to be done.

TBH, only a few are actually that useful when clarifying the intent of a post when otherwise it might be ambiguous. Most are just a bit of fun and aside from some serial emoticon abusers (*cough* Harry *cough* ) they don't get used that much.

Steve,

Greasemonkey scripts for Firefox are here :

But I've not tested them myself with the IMOC site.

Smileys - we do have a very wide range (80+ as already noted)

If you think there are specific ones that we're missing, post here with links to the images.

Cheers,

Ben
