Suggestion: Private reply button

[TDM]

If you want to PM a user about one of their posts, you have to reply with quote, and then copy and paste that into a PM. I think it could be useful to have a 'Reply privately' or 'Private reply' button next to 'Reply With Quote' which does this for you. It's just a suggestion to save a bit of time.

Yeah i agree, its a very good idea!

This is a good idea! I also think it would be cool if you got a notification after someone quotes you.

Oh yeah this sounds great.

I don't know if such a feature could be implemented, but this would make moderating a lot easier for me

I like this not only because it would save a bit of time, but it would also make more people recognize that they have the option reply to via PM. Threads wouldn't get off-topic so easily if more people replied via PM when it's more appropriate.

I hope it's possible for an admin to implement this.

I've added this feature - just click on the User menu by the post you want to quote and click on Quote Post in PM:

Let me know if you have any issues.

I don't see it.

Hmmm well it's definitely not there for me. No idea why it would be like that...

Clear cookies/cache and try again?

Didn't work.

As a side note, I hate the Opera/Chrome thing... I used to have my Opera set so it would auto clear all history whenever I closed the browser. I need to find a new browser :/

Fixed. Was an issue with the permissions on my end. Can you please confirm it works now for you?

What Opera/Chrome thing are you referring to?

Yea it works now thanks.

Well, as I'm no techy, I don't really understand the finer points. But a while ago Opera started using the google layout engine (I'm taking the terminology straight from wikipedia, I don't really know what it is). So, as far as I'm concerned (from a non-technical point of view) Opera is just Chrome with a slightly different appearance. And I mean, if I wanted to use Chrome, I'd just use Chrome. I have no idea why Opera did it but I hate it.
