If you say the site is already filled with one liners and non topic posts, then your current method to deter them isn't working. I can agree that it makes posting easier than before, but if people want to post a one liner, they're obviously willing to do it this way.
Then again, I really don't care. Just was playing devil's advocate I guess.

It's not that one liners are posted, it's that more would be posted with the addition of this mod. If I could get some guarantee that more one-liners would not be posted this mod would be OK, but I can't

how about something that logs how many hours a member spend on qbasic news. and after a period of inactivity, automatically logs you out to prevent inaccurate measurements. :wink:

You, mean, exactly like it is now, just that it's 5 minutes.
And what does that have to do with a Quickreply box?

Well your "online status" is 5 minutes, but you're kept logged in for an hour in terms of last read posts.
But that isn't going to help at all...

Is it too much to ask all of you to click a link and a short bit for the page to load to be able to type your reply and post it?
I thought not.

Fling: humans are lazy. And programmers are the laziest of all lazies.
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

apparently no one understood me. like it says how many posts you have under your name. it could also say how many hours youve spent here.
and for logging it out. like if i was logged on here and walked away just to get my hours up or something. ok so you dont have to add that to it.
and it doesnt have anything to do w/ quick reply. i didnt feel like starting a new thread about this because it has to do with additions to the forum and stuff.

I get you now...
but instead of logging offcant you just not count idle minutes? I don't like relogging in.
