In an ideal world
The Quick Reply box would only be present if one were looking at the last page

Never thought of that... um.. appears logical.

So you're saying it should become a "Quick-reply-to-the-very-latest-posts-in-this-thread-and-not-anything-else" box?

Of course the one problem is that there may also be more answers in the same thread which might have already solved the problem but it usually doesn't matter much. I don't see a good way to make this work if it is only on the last page. Topic drift is real. Dale Last edited by DaleDe; 09-15-2018 at 01:56 PM. |

I'm not expecting a solution, I was just musing.
Rather than 'drifting topics', I had 'missing the boat' and 'ninja dodging' in mind BR |

Even if we could do it, I don't see how putting it only on the last page would save very many from themselves. It would be a subtraction with no gain. *shrug* EDIT: I get that this wasn't really a real request for change, I just don't understand the reasoning behind why some would see it as a logical change.

Its absence would be an indication that you were not looking at the last page.
In an ideal world the there would be a Quick Reply on last page only checkbox in User Control Panel->Edit Options->Miscellaneous Options->Message Editor Interface that the imperfect could use to protect themselves from their own inadequacies Maybe this thread should be moved to The Lounge. BR |

I don't know ... it just seems kind of odd to me to change a feature that's useful on every page to what basically amounts to an "I'm on the last page of this thread" indicator. *shrug*
