When replying, do you make use of quick replies or do you click "reply"?

[UserU]

When making a quick reply, does it also show a warning when a new post has been added in the mean-time? (Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.)

Yup, it does too since a later post could have been made before I submit my reply.

You can use the quote button with quick replies, just click "quote" instead of middle-clicking it.

Yeah but the box is too small, especially if you need to trim or otherwise alter the quote... I don't think that I could ever get used to it or that it has any significant benefit.

IIRC it then opens the "real" reply page, doesn't it?

In your Poll, there is no option of "Never". From your this thread, I got an idea about another thread, I could create that soon about

"Never have I ever" like never have I ever got banned 👎 [Yes]
Never have I ever used the "quick reply" button 👍[No]
Never Have I ever cheated here 👍[No]

Yea it does because you must review before posting too just the same thing with the regular reply space just that the quick reply shows up under the last comment

Never used it before, didn't know that it exist either. I used reply or the quote button instead.

Nor have I, and though I haven't finished reading all the posts in this thread I don't know what quick replies are.

When I'm making a post, I usually quote somebody I'm replying to--and if not that, I just hit "reply".  It's worked for me so far for over five years, so I doubt I'm going to change my habits.  Nice to learn something new about the forum, though. 

Same goes for the very small "quick edit" button in the right corner under the message.

Lol.  I don't think I've noticed that one either.  Sometimes I think I seriously need to adjust my attention deficit meds, because I have a very hard time taking notice of little details like these.  Or maybe I ought to practice some mindfulness, living in the moment or something.  Then I might have a chance of being in the know about certain things--not only on bitcointalk, but with crypto in general. 

Anyway.  I'm a work in progress.

I never knew this quick reply thing and after reading this thread, I believe I won't be using it. I'm fine with using the "quote" and clicking "reply" to respond to a conversation as I can take enough time to create a post and if I want, just simply add more quotes to the conversation before posting it. It's much better to do what we already know than to try out something that could create problems for us as may not be convenient in our case.

Damn, I am ashamed of myself that I just discover this feature, lmao.
Made 1.000+ posts and I didn't know this forum has quick reply feature.

I will always use the quick reply from now on, making multiple quotes will be less frustrating. I also don't need to load another page just to reply, it will help my 20MBps internet connection,
thanks.

At one point, quoting a message with 'Quick Reply' enabled would result in my browser to display a bunch of blank space below the post/preview boxes below the 'quick reply' box. I am having difficulty replicating this in this thread, so this issue may have been resolved.

I have found the 'quick reply' feature to be far superior to the 'reply' link, especially when using mobile as it reduces the number of pages that need to be loaded, and makes it easier to quote posts that are not in the last 20 replies to a thread.

Based on the responses to this thread, there is an argument to have this feature turned on by default.

In your Poll, there is no option of "Never".

The third option in the poll "Mostly normal replies" means that you never use the Quick reply option but mostly prefer the normal replies.

I myself never used this quick reply option as i never need this feature. Normal reply is quicker enough for me.

That is correct.

Hmmm, I don't even see a "QUICK REPLY" option.  Where be it ?

It is at the bottom of each page. If you want the option to use it, you need to enable the feature. From your profile, go to 'Look and Layout Preferences' and change 'Use quick reply on topic display' to 'show, on by default'

Ahh!  Got it.  Thanks. Now I see why I likely disabled it eons ago.  My answer to the poll:  NEVER (not a choice) so I chose the 3rd option.

I thought I'm doing it the wrong way all the time . I'm glad that there are users who also use the quote button. Is there any difference? But thanks for the info OP, I will try it later to see see it for myelf in terms of convenience.

[libert19]

I usually quote people than to make direct responses to op, so pretty useless to me.

[actmyname]

Quick reply is easier for multi-quoting without leaving the page.

I usually construct my quote pyramids here and then if the reply is more complicated than that, it's more that I get to the regular reply section because I preview rather than post.
