If you could put a "reply" and "quote" button in the lower right hand corner of each post, I think you would get a TON of people off your back. That seems to be a very central complaint among a lot of posts.

It should be very easy to do... because you're using the code you already have for the buttons at the top of each post and just putting them on the bottom left... maybe with a new icon. I wouldn't think that the change would take long at all, and I think it would put a lot of older users at ease, as these buttons were probably the most commonly used in the old template.

Labbai is not working for MD :D
As for the reply, it's already there, but on the lower left :o
About a potential quote button, I assume it would quote the latest post of the displayed page ?

nono.. I mean per post. That's how it used to be, and that's what most people are complaining about.

I made a really crude picture of what I'm talking about (I only have mspaint at work)

oh I see :)
that's already possible to change the position of those button through your profile, although it would probably be better to change their position by default through the admin.

Just take a look at this :

yes... I would default them through admin if I were you... especially with all of this, "I don't feel like learning a new board" mentality. I think it would cut down a decent amount of your hate posts :/.

Ok, I'll suggest fredi to do this.

kind of... you're missing the post reply button down there as well. That's the big one. People are impatient and think that the world is going to collapse in on itself if they actually have to scroll to the bottom of the page before they can hit reply.

Personally, I LIKE the fact that they have to do this, because it prevent people from reading like... 2 responses on a thread and replying, as opposed to actually reading the *whole* thread before responding. However.. most users still wish to do this, which is why a lot of people are writing in.

yup but the reply button is not a standard functionnality of the software and hence needs to be coded, which takes more time than change changing an option in the admin panel ;)
