Quick Reply Box
Quick Reply Box
Is there any way to move the reply box to the BOTTOM of the discussion...where it should be...?
Half the time I open a thread, read the first post and see the reply box and think 'oh there must be no replies yet.' Then back out to the main page, see that there ARE replies and have to reload the page. This process is a pain in the ass when you're on shitty satellite internet in the middle of the Afghani mountains.
The rest of the time, its annoying as hell because generally when responding to a thread you're responding to the discussion thats going on, not to the OP, so it just makes more sense to have the box down at the bottom where you can still see the most recent post as you type you're response.
RZK: When you post a reply, it shows up right at the top when you hit post. After refreshing the page it will be at the bottom where it belongs. In other words, you are the only person that will see your post at the top and it will only be immediately after you hit post, everyone else will see at the bottom from the first time they load the thread.
And yes, I am very much not digging that the reply box is at the top. It doesn't promote 'discussion' at all. Just an OP with random replies and no actual conversation. Now obviously we still have conversational threads here, but thats because thats how we operate. I would think many/most new people will see the OP, then see the reply box and go ahead and reply, regardless of what 4 other pages of replies might say. That shit, will get real fuckin old.
Not to mention its just annoying as fuck having to scroll back to the top of the page to post my reply.
How about at least a compromise where you have one at the top and one at the bottom?
Honestly I'm at the point where if the reply box were at the bottom and there weren't nested comments I don't think I'd mind the layout/style.
Its just too confusing reading threads as is with all the nested comments and shit. And its still annoying as fuck scrolling back to the top of the page to post a reply.
If you want a real forum, I suggest going elsewhere. This forum sucks.
