At the bottom of each thread/post there used to be a Quick Reply box, where you could add a response to the end of the thread - it seems to have disappeared and you have to click the 'reply' button on the post you wish to respond to.
Cann we have it back please?
Odd ... don't recall it (but then I never used it). About how long ago did it go? Are you sure it was on the Coffee Shop and not some other forum? I've had a look through the option settings in case something had got changed by a fat fingered admin such as myself but I can find a button to push to turn this on.
You can "reply" on the bottom, or "quote" on an individual thread ... I'm slightly confused; you'll have to show me next time I see you.
