    Help, please

    I'm trying to post another reply in my In Memoriam thread. No matter how many times I hit reply, I keep getting a Quick Reply box. That's not what I want

    Just did a quick check and the very same thing is happening no matter the topic. All I get is the Quick Reply box.

    It also doesn't make any difference which browser I use. Writing this "quick reply" using Safari; the original was with Firefox. Very curious.

    Especially when I decided to try the "Go advanced" button on the Quick Reply page. This part is being written within a normal appearing reply box

    Under the quick reply box are options for Post Quick reply or Go Advanced or Cancel. Click the Go advanced and it should birng up the reply box you are used too. It threw me off for a bit too.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Thanks, I finally figured that out. But it wasn't like that right after the switch was made - was it? Seems like I've posted in the past week without going through all that stuff. Whatever.

    Thanks again, MOFF.

    No it wasn't like that originally. It just happened today. Annoying...

    Yes, as mentioned, we just turned this feature on. There's not much difference between Quick Reply and a normal Reply, other than you cannot put a title on a post, and you get a bigger box to type in and all the clickable emoticons handy if you hit "Go Advanced."

    If people don't like "Quick Reply, we can turn it back off, we figured we'd give it a try for a few days, and see what folks thought.

    I've been "on the fence" regarding the change. The quick reply - go advanced doesn't bother me. Every time I hit quick reply with gmail I get the advanced, so I'm used to it.

    IT took me awhile to figure this out too. Seems like a very round about way of getting to a regular sized post.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who wondered what was going on. Took me a couple of tries to figure it out and realize that I really wasn't losing it.
