Re: Replies to Reviews

Agreed, this is not user friendly and in fact appears to be a bug.

When logged out, pressing the "reply" button on an existing comment under an ISP review or a news article opens the quickreply interface. This is not consistent with the behavior of the "reply" button for logged out users in general forums which opens the normal reply interface.

Attempting to use the default quickreply function while logged out will result in an error as n4aof noted.

I never realized that anon posters were presented with quick reply but you're right they are if they reply to another poster in the review if you use the your comment link you get the full reply.

that's pretty sad and I've fixed it up.

Firstly the quick reply for anons removes the Post button and makes the More button a Continue button, which carries over whatever they've posted so far to the main posting screen.

Secondly I've removed the stupid google ad from the preview of their new post, and fixed the display of their details before they've chosen a name (it incorrectly said "System" until they typed an anon name in).
