// ############## for vBulletin v2.2.2 ##############
// ##################################################

// ##################################################

1. In showthread.php find this bit of code:
// ##################################################
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
  show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
  $pagenumber=1;
}
// ##################################################
And replace it with the following:
// ##################################################
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and $thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
  show_nopermission();
}

if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and (!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms['canreplyothers'])) {
   $replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
   $replybox='';
} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
   $replybox='';
} else {
   $textareacols = gettextareawidth();
   eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
  $pagenumber=1;
}
// ##################################################

2. Create a new template, with the name "showthread_replybox":
// ##################################################
<script language="javascript">
<!--
var postmaxchars = $postmaxchars;
function validate(theform) {
   if (theform.message.value=="") {
      alert("Please complete the message field.");
      return false; }
   if (postmaxchars != 0) {
      if (theform.message.value.length > $postmaxchars) {
         alert("Your message is too long.\n\nReduce your message to $postmaxchars characters.\nIt is currently "+theform.message.value.length+" characters long.");
         return false; }
      else { return true; }
   } else { return true; }
}
function checklength(theform) {
   if (postmaxchars != 0) { message = "\nThe maximum permitted length is $postmaxchars characters."; }
   else { message = ""; }
   alert("Your message is "+theform.message.value.length+" characters long."+message);
}
//-->
</script>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="newreply.php" name="vbform" method="post" onSubmit="return validate(this)">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="postreply">

   </normalfont></td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>
// ##################################################

3. In the "showthread" template add $replybox right after the following:
// ##################################################
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="95%"  align="center">
<tr>
   <td><smallfont>$pagenav&nbsp;</smallfont></td>
   <td align="right"><smallfont>
   <img src="http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/images/prev.gif" alt="" border="0">
   <a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextoldest">Last Thread</a>
   &nbsp;
   <a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextnewest">Next Thread</a>
   <img src="http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/images/next.gif" alt="" border="0">
   </smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
// ##################################################

You're all done, now upload showthread.php back to your server and enjoy this hack. :-)

Not to be discouraging but do you know how many times this has been disscussed?

[Broomop]

do u know also that yabb gold has it and its wicked...

[David]

Do a search and find the threads about it on this board.

[trevsweb]

i did and it said no posts found

[David]

Search for "quick reply" as a phrase and set it for like 50 days.

[trevsweb]

rite so this quick reply button does what i asked

[itswheelie]

well I just did a search of the whole board for "quick reply" from now to the past 50, 100, 500 and 700 days and only got one hit.  The post above.

I can see the quick reply button at the bottom but when I click on that nothing happens.

How does the quick reply button work?

[EDIT:  forget that last bit.  it wasn't a quick reply button but rather the topic "Quick Reply" doh.

could someone post a link to the quick reply topic please[/edit]

[Broomop]

on yabb gold u do a template string.. and its as simple as that.... and if u want to know where the post goes it changes depending on the thread so....... you will have to use a template... Im not sure if php coding for templates is simalar or teh same but thats the way to do it.. one draw back it quests can use it but u can add some coding to stop this.
