    Quick reply

    Uhm, I was just wondering if it were possible for the admins to change it so that the Quick Reply didn't require us to click the Quick Reply/Quote button?

    I know it's possible because Freewebspace.net/forums doesn't have it like that.

    Yeah, it's a real drag. I would like it like that too.

    Well, my gaming clan uses vBulletin, and it's already pre-set to let you Quick Reply without choosing a post to quick-reply to. How they do that, I don't know. I just know it's possible.

    I expect, it's there to try and stop spam.

    Freewebspace.net/forums has it set so that members' posts are all moderated until so much posts/time has gone by.

    That's not good for a forum and for a site of this size.

    Sometimes some kind of spam control is needed. I run a small mailing list with Google groups, and lately most of the contributions are spam. Thankfully it's a small list with low activity.
