"that's not why... how do you propose it's fixed?"
lol I'm not the coder - I'm just the user reporting a major bug..
Are you marking this one "WILL NOT FIX?" I dealt with that a lot when I was a software tester so I'm "used to it."

i like quick reply, because you can look at multiple posts while you are replying, so you can adress multiple users.

Haha... this is an interesting debate. Though UBB did remove the [Re: ] marker, I feel that was stupid decision and they should have included a toggle for the option.
I believe the feature is quite useful under most circumstances. Sure it won't always make sense (or be necessary), but it does help clarify comments from people who are too lazy to often quote.
It'd be nice if the QuickReply indicated a reply to [Re: all] -- but I suppose we can't ask for miracles
Food for thought though.. if the QR did reply to "all" then that would eliminate the fundamental flaw of the [Re: ] system, as it would allow a post directed at the general topic and no specific user

Maybe you could be able to type in the [Re:] while quick-replyn' in the future? I don't know really, and I really don't care. It's just my Quick-fix-reply.

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?

What sucks more is that you can?t insert images while doing a quick reply. Now this is a real bug.
IMO, until this is fixed, the quick reply shouldn?t be operable.

You do realize that the entire "[Re: username]" was taken out of the newest version of UBB, don't you?
Are you refering to a version that we have yet to update to, as I still see it...
If they did take it out, that's really stupid -- like New Coke! 
That is one of the features that I thought made this board software heads and tails better then the others. Sure the is a little confusion with [Re: username], but there is far more confusion without it. I have you been to some of these other boards. You can't tell who's talking to who in a thread, unless you know the people involved and pay very close attention.
I was thinking of buying UBB.threads for a project, but now I may have to boycott them out of protest. I marched against New Coke, and I can march against this...
Down with Quick reply!  Up with mini-skirts! 
PS: It is an interesting deabte, and if those bastards did remove the [Re: username] feature in the new version then we're screwed. We're doomed to be just as confused as everyother board...

Not if the admins don't update. No-one says they have to.
QUICK REPLY FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

From what I understand, the version we're running now was the first not to include the [Re: ] feature... and it had to be manually added after everyone (including myself) complained to high hell.

Yeah, I find that the Re:username feature makes it much easier to decipher the different conversational sub-threads that go on in a thread. When I'm at other boards, which don't have that feature, I find it very hard to figure out who's talking to who -- it just becomes a big confused jumble...

They took out the Re: Username in all 6.2.x versions of UBBThreads. It is returning in 6.3 (currently in beta). I think the quick reply is fairly handy, and once we upgrade to the new version of UBBThreads, we can apply the newest "hack" of the Quick Reply feature. We can then do any other customization that we see fit.

Most excellent!
There are several features in the UI of UBB.threads that makes it superior to other board software, and Re:username is one of them.
This is like when GM was going to get rid of the Oldsmobile brand, and then changed their minds. There is always some young hotshot in marketing that wants to fuck with things, just so he can feel like doing something. This sounds like one of those cases...
Viva la Re:username! Up with Mini-Skirts!

Post number 10k in this forum is used with quick Reply.
I don't think theres any real problems with it. No pics? No HTML? No specification on the reply? Bah. It's called quick reply for a reason, just like the drive thru of posting.
Gringo - Hasnt clicked on the "reply" button for about 3 months.
