Quick reply... but if i need to put codes like
i click go advanced so i can preview the text.
 
Quick reply for most posts, especially here in OVP. If I put more thought into it, I'll start in the Quick Reply box and hit "Go Advanced", where I'll sit there for ages trying to get the post right. XD;
 
Most of the time I use post reply, but if I'm just typing a short message, I'll use quick.
 
I've developed a fear of being beaten to the post... expecially in TCTI. That's why I either post a reply or go advanced, just to check that nobody has beaten me, then I click preview once more, and then quickly click. I don't normally get beaten that method.

For other things, I've gotten into the habit of either quoting or post reply because quick reply is down the bottom, and scrolling down the bottom takes LOTS of effort. If I'm creating a thread, it's default is in post a reply, so I can choose for that... and... yeah, that's about all.
 
I always use quick reply. Why wait for another page to load if you can post your reply right here?
 
Post Reply in my case. Always. I really like to preview my message, finding spelling errors and all that. It doesn't matter if I'm writing just two paragraphs... I'll preview it.

Chances are, after previewing, that I'll not be satisfied with my first reply, and then I'll rephrase myself and make my post better.
 
For simple posts not requiring codes such as this I just type in the quick reply box. But for posts which I'm showing images for example I go advanced, so I can preview it to make sure none of the codes or anything are broken.
 
I almost always use quick reply. If I'm typing a longer post than usual, however, I'll type it in Notepad and then I'll paste it in and "Go Advanced" to make sure it formats correctly and to proofread it before I send it.
 
I use Quick Reply mainly unless I'm quoting or adding additional tags to my post.
 
Quick reply mostly. I only use "go advanced" if I'm using too much formatting to preview the post. If not, I prefer editting later.
 
I always go for quick reply, saves alot of time. Only if Im formatting it alot I go to post reply. Like right now, im using quick reply xD

I almost always use quick reply. The only time I don't is when I quote something.
 
I tend to go advanced, even when typing short responses like this one. In this mode I don't have a bunch of ginormous signatures mingling with what people have said so it's easier to keep track of what's being discussed and pick up on things. Besides, writing in the advanced reply box won't erase itself if I pull a stupid and accidentally make my browser backtrack. Big benefit for me, especially when writing longer posts. xD
 
Like Alter Ego, I always go with the Advanced mode. It's a habit that I picked up back before I knew what Quick Reply was, and it's a habit that I have maintained to this day, no matter how much I had tried in the past to break it. It is easier to look back through posts, which I tend to do where I hang out here, because there are no large signatures or avatars to distract. Plus, it's much simpler to get the post count, for times when I needed that information.
 
I am used to using the Quick reply ever since I joined PC. I rarely write posts that are are huge anyway. On a few instances I go advance. The only other time I go into "Post Reply" is when I quote someone. (Which I could do often)
 
Quick Reply, unless of course I'm quoting someone (which I must say I do too often D8). Even if I make a mistake in, say, my font code, then I can just immediately edit it, right on the spot. :D
