I am not sure if this was asked/shot down/implemented, but needs to be turned on/etc.
I was wondering if a quick reply option could be placed so that it is quicker to respond to posts/threads instead of having to go to the full editor.
Please forgive me if I am making little sense, its rather late and I am running on very little sleep.
Thank you!
There is a quick reply option
It is below "Second Sphere » Second Sphere Announcements, News and Community » Comments, Suggestions and Troubleshooting » Quick reply option" on this thread, below reply, notify, etc and below the jump-to section. It may be hidden (with a +) but should be able to be expanded. It's what i use

It's been in place for probably a year at least
