Please move the reply button from posts! It is driving me nuts!

YE Button.JPG

Twice today I've clicked the wrong button and have erased responses to posts. One of which was pretty damn long. I've attached a screen shot showing how you have two very different button with in inches of each other. Please move them!!

[rogercbryan]

Sorry if you click the bottom one it erases what you've typed and starts over. I've done this at least a dozen times since the new site has launched.

I don't think that's a good idea moving it - it would interfere with upgrades everytime they perform them.

Secondly, when you quote a person, you're not supposed to click the blue button, you're supposed to click the grey fat one. The admins made it bigger than it is usually in vb4, out of reasons that you're making a post on.

You need to understand it, and make it a habit of clicking the grey button when you quote someone.

With 3600 posts I have an idea of which buttons to use. Moving the button will have absolutely no effect on future upgrades. I don't even understand where you are coming up with that. In web site design you never put two buttons with similar functions that close to each other. In fact there really is no need for the circled button at all with-in replay mode. Why would you have a button that starts a process that has already been initiated. Makes no sense.

I can't be the only one that has ever clicked the wrong button on here...

Well then. What's with the thread?

Jesus Christ. I come from 8 years of administrating forums - I run a Call of Duty forum, and I even own a forum and I know how upgrades are on VB's. They're a pain in the ass if you customize too much. You would have to revert every one of the template edits if you edited them - and if you want to be secure as possible. And after every upgrade, if you revert, you have to re-do the templates ALL over again. Meaning, that every upgrade is like a new project. The owners of this site have lives, too ya know.

Go to vbulletin.com and complain to them, then. They're the developers.

Nope. I have done the same thing on other forums powered by vb4.

lol.. all rubbish... I could move the button or delete it in 5 minutes with absolutely no effect to the forum. I'm pretty sure YE is not running on a cookie cutter free template. With that being said moving the button is a simple ,<P ALIGN="RIGHT"> instead of <P ALIGN="LEFT"> in the master template. I'm not even a programmer...

I'd like to hear from a YE moderator to see if this is something you all are willing to do...

[KyleXY]

Yeah that stuff ticks me off. I write a long ass reply and the stuff doesn't post. Then I have to retype it sometimes. And other times I just don't bother. It's so retarded. The mark all forum as read doesn't work either.

Roger,

I will bring this to the tech's attention. We did make the post quick reply button bigger for this reason and moved it to the left but we'll try and move this around a bit to help.

Thanks.

I appreciate your attention to this. If it didn't happen to me all the time I wouldn't mention it. Today I typed a 4-5 paragraph response to a post and then hit the wrong button.. poof everything was gone.. even hitting the back button didn't let me get to what I typed.

Seriously has this not happened to anyone else... I feel semi-retarded now!

[BizGuy]

Roger that!

We'll definitely try and do something to combat this issue!

Thanks again for bringing it to our attention.

lol.. all rubbish...

Keep Laughing. And keep that attitude up.



All rubbish, because you have absolutely no idea how it's like behind the vb ACP. /Sarcasm

You are full of entertainment... I love the PM's you are sending me as well... Do I need to buy a ticket to your one man comedy show?

Sorry don't mean to pick on you... but... lol

I also just noticed that the button problem only exists when you do a 'reply with quote' and when you are replying to last post in the thread. This means that the button is a page function and not a function of the thread. Not sure if that helps..

I don't even know why that "Reply to Thread" button is there.. there's a quick reply textbox right on the bottom of the thread.

Thats what I'm saying... I completely agree it is a redundant button (that apparently only my dumb a$$ seems to click by accident)
