An interesting mod for phpbb - I'm sure most of you have seen it before. Would you guys be interested in putting this one up, or is it too much of a hassle/waste of time?

This is a picture from another board I post on.. basically it adds an option to post at the bottom of every thread instead of clicking "Reply."

Saves loading time.. etc

You can find it here: http://tekrangers.com/modules.php?name= ... etit&lid=3

I haven't tested that.. may want to use a trusted source like phpbb

Seen it and had it on several boards. Never found the need to use it. If someone cannot find a reply button they should move along to another board.

it's not about finding the reply button... it's a very handy thing to be able to form your reply while viewing the whole thread, instead of the reverse threaded small box view on the reply window.

Look at it this way:

90% of the posts on this board don't go beyond 1 or 2 lines, let alone words.
This will not only be faster for users, but it will lower bandwidth costs (like we don't have enough here anyway, but still).

I was just basing my reply on the question asked.

I think it looks beneficial, but I'll be out of town for a few days, so I won't get to it right away. I'll hook it up when I can.
