A user on a 56k modem or even a T1 on the other side of the world will not notice the extra execution time
Since when has PHP execution time been dependant on modem speed!?!?!

Maybe that was the point?

I didn't read the whole paragraph so I can't be sure, but maybe thats what he was saying?

Not to get offtopic, but Launchcode, could you please use the [ quote ] tags for quoting? It would really make your posts much easier to read/parse. :)

I will if I can be bothered :) I *never* use the "extended" post panel, always the QuickReply box so it depends if I feel like typing [ quote ] in (and most the time I don't).

Personally I think it's a major design flaw of all forum systems that insist on opening another bloody page just to enter a reply - it's bad design. The post form should be on the actual page itself. But there we go, rant over.

Thing is, all you have to do is click the "quote" button. bam. page loads, you type your response, and you're done. no big deal, just saves the hassle of trying to decypher your post.

Thanks

You shouldn't *have* to click anything - you should be able to reply immediately - its poor forum design, but that isn't this sites fault. I don't quote that often anyway so I'll carry on doing what I feel like, sorry - live with it or change it :)

Heh.. fair enough.. sorry but life is too short and I'm a busy guy! If quoting a whole massive block I'll use the quote tag (and have done in previous posts), but for short single sentances.. well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to read them. Anyway I'll end this now, we've hijacked some poor guys thread over this!
