" More options " in Quick Reply "
At time we start type in Quick Reply and find the need for more option like adding attachments or similar. Just wondering if we can have " More Options " button in Quick Reply which will take us to full editor without loosing the typed text ?

What about Preview button? If you click on it you will be taken to full editor.

I never noticed it before. Thanks.
PS : But would be nice to have separate button in my opinion. Otherwise hard to find.

hmm... that "separate button" sounds something like what XF has: the "more options" that brings you to the post page, the "preview" that opens a modal popup with the preview. Honestly I hate that modal preview, it feels "wrong" to me.
I remember, though, it took me a while to adapt to IPB with its "more options" button, because I wanted a preview, and I was looking for a "preview" button.
Rename it to "preview and options" seems too long. And add another button just to have two buttons is not something I would do either.
On the other hand, I wouldn't be against adding an area for attachments (even a small one on the left of the buttons), because I think it's what 95% of people want when they start typing a message in the quick reply and feel the urge to go to the full post page. I guess it may even be a simple input button without all the drag&drop stuff.

Yep, I got the idea of " More options " from IPB. May be we call simply add a + button which will either give attachment option or show full editor without spoiling what we have typed so far.

I've been advocating for this for a while. But I'd rather get rid of the post page all together, and just add everything to the quick reply. Preview and just open into a div above the quick reply or something.

Maybe "preview/more" instead of simply preview.

That seems more descriptive, since if you wanted to add attachments that's the way to get there ... Could actually then make preview a legit preview in the QR box without going to the post page.

By the way, can we move this new QR anywhere we want? I was thinking of experimenting QR box under each and every for recent post, right after I make it to look alike display page.
