    Simple. Do you use the handy, aptly dubbed "Quick Reply" or do you go through the lengthy process of loading a whole entire web page and then writing your response and having to click YET ANOTHER button to send it?

    I see some bias here. :P I use the full reply on two occasions:

    1. I'm quoting someone and would like to see the quote as I reply. Quick reply does the trick but you don't see the quote.
    2. I'm locking a thread, as there's an option in the reply page to "lock and reply" which makes it easy.

    Other than that QR is my frienddd.
     
    I always click reply. I forget the Quick Reply exists most of the time lol. Even right now. XD
     
    Ever since I joined PC, I used the quick reply on the bottom, not knowing there was a full reply feature. At first I thought "Oh, so you post there...ok". To this day I continue to post on the quick reply section and still don't bother to go advanced. lmao

    I almost never use the full reply feature. I only do so when I quote someone, or write a tl;dr post.
     
    I use the quick reply. Only time I even go to the other page is after I click go advanced to see a preview of my post. Even when I was on staff I would use the quick reply to post a message when closing threads, but that was probably because I would close a thread before I would reply to it.
     
    I usually use the "Quick Reply" button mainly cause it's easier and faster.
    I only use Advanced for a) if I'm quoting someone else's post b) typing a long post c) to preview my post for grammar and spelling and to make sure I types the BCCodes right.
     
    I always use Quick Reply. I'll use Full Reply if I'm quoting or post with attachments.
     
    I use "Quick Reply" if I'm not quoting anyone. If I have to quote a person, I hit "quote" in their post, then "post reply." If I quote multiple people, I hit "multi quote" in the appropriate posts, then "post reply."
     
    Unless it's for a very long post, I always use the Quick Reply because I'm a lazy twit of the convenience. I also know most of the bbcode on pc in my memory so I almost never need to go advanced.
     
    I usually use quick reply for posts that aren't extremely detailed or anything like that. If it's something that requires quite a bit of thought(or if I'm about to make a lengthy post), then I would use the Advanced Reply.
     
    Usually Quick Reply. Go Advanced if I need to view it again before sending (like if I timed out between writing and posting, or just want to double-check it). There was also a time where I'd double-post using just Quick Reply so I'd Go Advanced to view it. Obviously if I quote someone, I hit the Quote button.

    I don't think I ever start a post with the Post Reply button, haha.
     
    I only usually use the Advanced option when I'm locking a thread or when I'm writing a really long post that I want to keep previewing as a safeguard from losing my progress.

    Other than that, I always use Quick Reply because it's so much easier. Even when I'm quoting a post, I copy and paste what I want to quote and add the
    tags myself :P
