Just found something out. If you are replying to a thread, and someone else adds a new reply before you get yours in, it will tell you when you hit send, and refresh your reply page with the new reply. Kinda neat.

Yeah, I saw that earlier.  Not sure how useful it really is, but it is definately a... um... feature.

I thought that was pretty neat.

That already saved me once from having to edit a post.  Was replying to Scott, a new post went up in the meantime, and the board warned me before accepting my post.  So I added "To Scott:" at the top.  That is useful.

You can enable the Quick Reply function in your profile. It's all I ever used at TME so I'm happy it's still an option here.

It is supposed to be enabled by default.

Oh, it was. The Default is "show, off by default" I switched it to on by default so it's always open. Before I looked in the settings I didn't realize the blue bar at the bottom was to be clicked for Quick Reply to come up.

Ah.  Gotcha.  Yeah, the original default from a fresh install of the forum is no quick reply at all. Kind of lame, considering the "show, off by default" setting is very unobtrusive whilst still useful.

The Statistics feature is awesome. There's just something about useless information on my posting patterns I love so much.
