So check it out: I've just installed two new plugins for the site.
The first is Reply Button In Posts And Recent Posts. It does... exactly what it sounds like. If you look closely, there are now extra reply buttons beside each post that will take you to the "reply" page without having to scroll your lazy butt aaaaaall the way down to the bottom of the page. They look like this:
Just press it and you're off to the races.
Next up is Posting Temples which is a bit more complicated. The whole point here is to set up a chunk of text that you can save as a template, then easily select from a drop-down list to have it pasted right into your post. Getting this set up involves a couple easy steps:
Step 1: Go into your Profile
Click on the "Profile" button, then press the "Edit Profile" button on the right, like so:
Step 2: Find the new Posting Templates feature
Click the "Settings" tab, and scroll down the page to find the "Posting Templates" dialogue box. It looks like this:
Step 3: Hit "Create" and name your Template
Like so:
Step 4: Type Something
Type in some text and hit "Save Template" when you're done. You can include BBCode tags like Bold, or Color, or whatever, like a normal post. Just put in something that you're likely to want to post many times:
Step 5: Use your Template!
When replying to a thread, you'll see a "Posting Templates" dropdown box at the bottom of the reply field. Click it, select the template you want, and presto, it'll appear in your post just as you typed it up before:
And that's that! Pretty straight-forward. Hope you guys enjoy,

I love the Posting Templates, even though I don't really use them, it gives people the chance to do so.
