Mod Name / Version: Quick Reply 5.0
Description: This modification adds a "Quick Reply" box at the bottom of the showflat and showthreaded pages, allowing you to quickly compose and submit your reply from the same page. It does allow you to adjust the post icon, preview your post and even checks your spelling. This mod encourages participation and adds ease of use to new users.
Version 4 added the ability to preview the post icon using the drop down menu and built in support to support the "Re: Username" feature which was returned to flat mode in 6.3.
I also fixed a bug where Special Characters were breaking the Subject, thus cutting it off at a quote mark etc..., and fixed a bug which easily allowed users to inadvertently submit a blank post.
Version 5.0 updated instructions for UBB.Threads 6.4 (thanks DLWebmaestro) and added a checkbox to include or omit your signature when replying.
Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.4

Any pre-requisites: UBB.Threads 6.4. Also File Uploads must be on in your php.ini file, or else this mod doesn't work properly.
