The topic title says it all :)

In addition to upgrading the board to the latest version, I have gone ahead and added quick reply (click the Quick Reply link next to the Post Reply button and the box will appear) and the search link (top right).

I was going to add a new theme (a dark or black theme) to the forum, but due to the recent release of phpBB 3.0.3 I'm going to hold off on that in case the style authors are going to update their styles.

Enjoy, and please let me know if there are any problems. I might alter the quick reply slightly in the future, I think it is a bit too big at the moment, I preferred it when it was small and on the left hand side like it was last year :)

I must admit I too preferred the previous version, having said that, having one there is better than none :wink:

Thanks for bringing Search back.

Related: I like the "Search this Topic" feature. It's handy in long threads.

battye - Is the Quick Reply option something you've done, or is it a MOD? I'm looking to implement this at my site as had it in Aphrodite style in phpBB2. ;)

Cheers battye. :D

Seems that Quick Reply is going to be implemented in phpBB 3.0.6 and can be switched on / off via ACP.
