Tagging went live a little too soon so I took the button back off the template.  :(  Hopefully it'll be live later this week or early next.

The bar on the quick replay window is great. I think the tagging topics will be another good addition as well.

So that's why I didn't see any tagging option. Anyway, the new addition to the quick reply/quick post feature is nice although unneccessary for me. I'm sure it'll help newer GS users though.

I used to be able to quote HTML codes right through quick reply. But now I have to go through an extra step. I'm a total Access subscriber, so I don't think making me go through more pages will make me watch more ads... :D

I can see the bar now.

But there's another issue:

After quoting someone and pressing 'enter' or 'return' after the quote, the text after the quote disappears.

the allow access is a security feature of firefox.  You can follow the directions that the more information button gives to override the default firefox settings.  Or you can use the paste from word clipboard icon.  shift-insert also bypasses FireFox's security for some reason (bug imo).

Quick reply/quote is meant to be a quick/lightweight way to reply.  The more stuff like this that I add, the slower it becomes.  :(

Then could you give us the option, in our preferences, to have this editor enabled or disabled? It would be apart from the main option to have it on or off (like the main reply / quote and the quick reply / quote). At least thats the way I picture it. :P

I'm not a big fan of it, thankfully I was able to turn the horrid thing off, it kept making the page jump up to the top instead of staying on the last message read and lagged when loading:?

Not a bad idea, but I could always go to preferences before clicking regular reply and turn it back on, but it would be nice to have it like it was before this update I thought it worked just fine as well:)

yer that'd be ideal...personally i have them both disabled anyway but on occasion i put on the editor for editing things and post normally using the quick post at the same time...and of course turning the editor back off when i'm done...this update kinda slows down my quick posting when i do that tho as i'm so used to always using html straight into the post in quick post now...

Yeah the quick reply is a useful tool, not any fancy HTML. I don't really ever use any fancy HTML so it's great for me.

Did it stop after you got rid of the Editor? Mine does the same thing now and its realy annoying and slowing me donw.

Yeah I think they should add that and mabey take out the BIU b/c that is realy basic and I dont know that many of us need it. However the Insert Link is NOT very basic and not many of us newer people know it.

I really don't like/need the HTML buttons in quicky reply/quote. It slows my computer down a lot more. Just watch; everything from the current editor will be added to the quick reply button sooner or later. >_>

Putting the editor into quick reply was a good idea, so well done and thanks to Teivan, but  I agree, there should be an option to disable it for quick replies but not for full replies. I'm too used to using HTML in the quick reply, and having the editor there complicates things in that area. Still, it's a nice addition, and I noticed the tags after they went up (but the submit was broked :(), and it's looking nice.

God I hope not. I had to disable the editor b/c my page was bugging out and would not stay in one spot.
