Pondering
 

When you reply do you use the little reply space at the bottom of the thread, or do you like to click the "add reply" button? and then reply in the new window/screen

It depends. If its straight text like this i use the little box. If i know I'm going to write a bunch of stuff and may need to use codes, i'll use the big box and buttons.

It depends on what the post will contain.

Unless I'm quoting somebody, I just use the box at the bottom cuz I'm a lazy bum. :D

Why load another page when you use the quick reply box :)

Hmm, time and convenience usually decide it for me. If I think of something very inspiring then I get on a roll and continue writing in this little box instead of going to the next page though.

I just yell my reply real loud at the monitor

I like the box at the bottom, I have a need for speed.

Although you will notice that most of my posts are edited 'cause of some mistake or other that I don't notice till it posts..

normally i use this little white box...

What WK said.

I actually compose my replies in Word, check it for grammar and spelling, and email it off to have it proofread by Ms. Pearson, my old 3rd grade teacher. After receiving her approval, I then dictate the reply to a small spider monkey. "Chico", the monkey, uses a pencil that he has taped to his tail to type the response into the box at the bottom.

If there are any errors, just lemme know, and I'll punish "Chico" appropriately. Bastard monkey's been taking up too much room around here anyway.

I am with meanSpleen. But I am starting to memorize all the codes now, so I will be using the little box more and more.

I gotta to go with Spleen's reply. It all depends.

Most tend to be the quick reply. But if I want to enhance it with something, I add a reply.

ROTFL :D :D :D :D :D

Same here. Though sometimes I'll write it in Word and paste it in the big box.... I wish I had a monkey to proofread my text... My third grade teacher won't take my calls...

i never even noticed an 'ad reply' :D
