I don’t know if any else is like me, but occasionally I will run across something on a website and think that if only I could make some little tweaks to the site, that I might be able to make it more suited to how I think. Maybe it is just a bit of CSS that might clean things up a bit, or maybe if I could just re-arrange things on the page I would have an easier time finding that awesome feature that always seems to get tucked away in a hidden corner of the page, never to be seen again.
I was on the DotNetNuke forums this morning and noticed that Chris Paterra had added a new “Quick Reply” feature. This is a simple textarea and submit button that was added to the bottom of the forums page. The nice thing about the quick reply is that I don’t always need fancy html or the ability to pin the post or any of the other features that are on the regular reply page. Using the new Quick Reply, I can easily post a response without any visible postbacks. This is a much nicer Web 2.0 experience and something that I am sure many users will love.
