    Ha, I tried to edit that last post to change “define” to “defined”, and I get this error:
    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method ‘getElementsByTagName’ of null, vbulletin_quick_reply.js line 11. I get that same error trying to use the Reply button at the bottom of the screen.

    I feel like I also used to be able to ‘quick reply’ on the same page as the thread, instead of what happens now, which is a new page loading with a big reply box. I don’t remember changing any settings. Has there been an update recently?

    The software was upgraded at the end of July. “Quick Reply” may have gone away at that time. I remember seeing that, or reading about it, but I never used it. While I’m reporting the other bug, I’ll see if there’s something on vBulletin’s forum about it.

    I looked into the Quick Reply feature, found that it does still exist (didn’t go away with version upgrade), but it’s not working on our forum. I vaguely remember trying to install a security patch after the version upgrade in July, and something not seeming right at the time. We also installed some modifications: TapaTalk and “Like.” Any of these things could have broken Quick Reply.

    Before reporting any bugs, I decided to have the latest version of the software installed. That will incorporate all bug fixes and security patches to date. (The upgrade we installed in July was outdated the next day.) Version upgrades are installed by the pros at the hosting company. When that’s done, I’ll see if Quick Reply is still missing and take it from there.

    We’ll also check on jrenaut’s bug at that time, once we’re up to date, and report it if it’s not fixed.

    The forum host is going to do the software upgrade now.

    You’re welcome, thanks for noticing the problem. Admins: You won’t see the Quick Reply link, “Edit Post” is in its place. Quick Reply is only available to other registered users, and only when they’re logged in. The link is a curved-arrow icon.

    Still getting the error when I try to reply with the “Reply to Thread” button.
