I may be a little slow but quick reply is grayed out and I don't know how to use it. I have been just using post reply instead.

After each post in the thread there are three buttons QUOTE, MultiQuote & Quick Reply.

Click quick reply (the small button with a blue line) , it'll enable quick reply & set the focus to the quick reply box.

Thank you. I am used to just being able to type in the box and submit it as a quick reply. Doing it this way makes it a little less quick.

yes it's better when you don't have to click that button. But this is better than to press on 'reply' all the time

I really hate that and I just don't post on forums with no quick reply..

I was a bit lost when I first joined too lol, maybe it stops spammers slightly or something whilst still offering the convienience to the rest of the users of a quicker reply? Would have to ask the board admins what's the story with it.

I find it easier to submit replies to forum topics by clicking on "quick-reply" button on the last post. Unless I have to quote someones text from the thread.

I am not such a fan of quick reply.Some forums I go to don't have it set up to work right and my post gets lost from when I click submit to actually being posted.

Funny thing is I am using the quick reply function to write this post.
