    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 am such a creature of habit. Some days I fear I am turning into my crabby old father.
    Let's see what everyone thinks.

    Karen you are awesome for putting up with us!

    I replied in another thread about this last night because this is when it started happening to me. I'm glad to hear that I wasn't the only one. I prefer to just have it the old way so I'm going to try to change mine back. I guess I can't. I just don't like having to also click on go advanced to that I can use the emoticons.

    I agree with Tracey. This "new" way is inconvenient and confusing.

    In the future, if there are other changes like this, is it possible for you to put a Sticky at the top of the board so we all know what's going on. This has been very disconcerting, especially for those of us who are more "mature"

    I read this initial post, then went to a thread and replied, came back here to say yes it is happening to me too. Oh, it is now set that way! Um . . . I'm with Ellie, the more "mature" posters, but I can get used to it if I have to . . . I guess. . . ...

    It's nice that this new stuff is so flexable, but if you want to know what people think,
    I like it the way it used to be.

    That's why we have the thread "New on Pet Talk" going!

    I know I'm nit-picking here, but that particular feature, quick reply, was only begun yesterday. It wasn't "new" when we began with this server. And there was no notice that it was in effect

    Just my ranting, but couldn't this particular thread - New on Pet Talk - be stuck to the top in this section. And when changes are made, couldn't they be noted in here - so we don't think we're getting too old too fast???

    As Tracey said - I think that we should at least have the option to turn quick reply off if we want to.
