I am an idiot.

WHY, oh why does the new topic button have to be beside the reply button? When I am reading a thread, yeah, sure, I might be struck with the need to make a new topic, but more than likely I want to reply to the thread. I've must have done it seven times today (exaggeration), clicking

instead of

and typing out a response, only to notice it says "Submit New Thread" at the bottom. X_x And that's on the days I am smart enough to actually read; the rest of the time, I just click away and blink at the error page, where it says I should make sure all the fields are replied to.

Just a suggestion, you know. Get rid of it for the sake of stupid people!

Just use the quick reply page template. Then your reply box is set apart from those silly buttons.

That's just how it is. I leanred that Add Reply is closest to the scrollbar to the right, so it should be easier to click if you scroll up by the scrollbar. It's not that tough.

I've made that mistake quite a few times. Nothing big.

Well you can always copy/paste your stuff into a new browser tab on the correct submission form

Is it me, or do those two images have different backgrounds?

I do the same thing. That's why I love quick reply xD

Loony BoB · 02-09-2004, 06:33 PM

I actually like it that way. It always bugs me when they do it differently at other forums.

it's worse at places that use vB 3.
