I know not everyone likes logging in, but would the following feature be easy to add?

I would like to be able to start a reply either directly with post reply or indirectly with quote, and once I realize I'm not logged in, click "Login" and enter my details, then be returned to that posting screen for that thread after a successful login.

It would be very nice if any quoted text was returned to the text box. Even better if I could be in the middle of a post, login and return with all my already-entered typing ready for appendation/submission.

Yes? No?

It's possible, but it would require code changes in sensitive places, ones I'd rather not touch, for future compliance.

Aren't there similar shiny features in the upgrade?

Then yes. Like I said, it's not impossible to implement

Nothing is impossible, but when it's out of the box....it's not even difficult.

That's not entirely accurate. In fact, it's like saying we can have something here because it exists on UBB. phpBB 3 is one thing, and our phpBB (2.something) are simply two different things. I can't port code from one to the other.

If it's a new feature out of the box in 3.0, I think that it's pretty likely (I know, I'm going out on a limb ) that we could implement that once we roll over.

By 'out of the box' I mean the basic 3.0. So all of the custom code you and jeep have done doesn't count. That's re-possible, but difficult or cumbersome at best. If it's against a preset feature then that would take effort. But if it's precisely a feature of 3.0, then virtually no effort should be required.

There is a "we" in MatthewV...but just "eat" and "ate" in Beartalon.

So ... is it done yet? ;D
