I don’t have quick reply box anymore, I have to go to the advanced editor to reply to threads. Is this just something about the new software, or am I the only one with this issue?

It isn’t just you. It is a feature of the upgrade. Don’t say anything bad about it, though, or you know what will happen. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=482691](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=482691)

What a strange “feature.” But overall the board is much improved, so no complaints here.

I believe that Jerry has set up a thread for people’s “wish list.” I don’t know what’s possible and what’s not, but it’s certainly a lower priority. And **SSG Schwartz** , c’mon. There’s no need for you to go picking at scabs. Comments about board performance are not in the same category as personal insults directed at staff.
