Is it possible to add back the ability to collapse the "quick reply" pane? I find it annoying that it's always there. When browsing on my Kindle or Phone, scrolling near it causes it to capture the cursor and take up a significant portion of the screen with the OSK, and even on a normal computer, it adds additional scroll distance before I can get to the links back to the forum hierarchy.

I would have to modify the software for that. As I said earlier, I switched to the quick reply function that's now built into the software, as opposed to using the old software mod that we had before. The code is entirely different.

@Darth Wong

Would you be considering adding Tapatalk support in the next software change ? It greatly enhances the forum experience from mobile devices. And not to jump on the bandwagon but given how mobile devices are apparently taking over the world I think you should at least look into it. :)
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

If I made new online and offline images for MF, would you switch them? The current ones are hideous.

As a forum user who uses a mobile device, what do I get from Tapatalk? I've seen it on other forums, and constant pop up "Do you want Tapatalk?" notifications are annoying as hell.

Sure, if they look nice.

I just modified the button layout at the bottom of each post in BlackSoul and MillenniumFalcon.

I don't really see an issue with two quote buttons. Seems like they add a useful option for long posts and the only cost is a little more clutter.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.
