Can anyone tell me what is the difference between 'fast reply' and 'addreply'? I find that 'addreply' goes up immediately anyway.

'Fast reply' adds a box at the bottom of the screen, with none of the formatting things, like bold, italic, underline, different sizes, fonts, colours, smilies etc.
'Reply' takes you to a new screen with all the formatting tools. |

"Fast Reply" actually means that the rest of the board members have to read the new post really quickly when it appears in a thread, otherwise they get moderated for breach of forum etiquette... :P |

One difference is I think that you don't get offered all the editing options with the fast reply, like bold, underline etc. Also the smileys don't automatically appear - you can get them up if you need them but they're not there to start with. |

When you do fast reply you can do bold and smilies :) etc but you need to know the coding etc yourself... you can
QUOTE quote too, um, yeah most of the options are available but not as automatic click-this-button things. useful though.this was done on the quick reply, hope I got all the cody bits right or I'll look a right banana! :rolleyes: |

I always find fast reply to be slower because however good my intentions, I always seem to need to bring up the smiley window. :)
