Nice!

Spoke too soon!  Doesn't work.  :(

What is wrong? Is it failing a test on install or does it not work in general?

Actually a couple days ago I was thinking the same thing. Would be nice to have a reply option on each post. Works great. Didn't even have to edit the file for my theme.

Doesnt this promote ambiguity?

You may think you are replying to a POST (as is possible on a true threaded system like IPB) but you are actually in fact, just replying to the thread as always?

Still. this is much needed overal. People always cry about low participation levels in their communities w/o realizing that there are often two many structural barriers to impulse actions (and replying to a post is often an impulse decision) so having reply button on each post is probably the best thing, and I feel should be the default and in the core. (Why scroll all the way to the top or bottom to reply to a post you just saw?)

As a matter of fact, actually, there should be a REPLY button on the board index as well, you click it, it takes you to the reply form (and you can look a the previous posts which are shown anyway and read them then) most threads can fit in a screen anway and for those that dont, a scrolling/scrollable sidebar that allows you to go back and read the whole lot would help. Especially for a fast moving, collaborative/brainstorming board, you dont want to force people into a laborious methodical plodding through in order to quickly post.

I would call this a VERY GOOD MOD. maybe even profound for its potential impact on member participation

(searches in vain for a thumbs up icon)

I hate how you can make mods and I can't :(

But anyway, well done ;D

KahneFan, I posted a suggestion on IPYP ;)

I think it would be better if you (KahneFan) put "if can reply" condition..?!

KahneFan

Actually, I like that it takes guests to a login/register page. (Personally)

I think it may help to urge guests to register. This way they have the urge to post (now) and they can click the button, then they think "Well, I didn't want to register, but I really want to get my point across... OK, I'll register"

What is this IPYP you speak off?

I'm thinking of having it grab the reply and if they are not registered, have a quick registration form appear underneath, (That way they dont have to leave the  page) but that will take a bit more SMF/PHP skills than I have at the mo.
