Having trouble setting default profile settings...

[Crip]

That is a member Profiles choice in Look n Lay

You can reset those options in each theme under the theme settings for SMF. THere's no need to run a SQL query to change that. Unless I read you guys wrong.. Got a bit confused.

I would of thought you could, and I also assumed that that had been suggested over on the SMF boards...

Any chance of a link to the thread on SMF?

Well I'm a bit confused too, but essentially I "think" I've tried everything in the book to make it where/when a regular member registers and replies the very first time to a topic with replies w/o altering his/her profile the quick reply is available. 

Instead, when I (forum administrator) set my profile to enable quick reply. Then to admin, themes and layouts, overall forum default is set to Black Rain and then I reset everyone to Black Rain and click Save it still doesn't enable "quick replies" for all users on the forum by default.

A good Admin would enable it on there Profile IMHO!

It's disabled by default for all users I think Crip. This is going to be changed in SMF2 if I remember right.
In the Themes and Settings > Reset Options section you'll find this if you click the option to "reset all members options" for which ever theme you want to edit.

Your exactly right B0ss , but i thought Roy said he had tried that?

I've just tried this on my test set-up, and I can't enable it by default.

I can't even find any options to set quick reply on as default, anywhere within the admin centre.

I can however tell you, that once you set the option within a member's profile, it is then stored in the themes table against the users id.
The theme is set to 1 - the theme I was using was id 4, however it's not a theme specific setting, so if you store the setting against theme 1 (default), then it becomes a default for all themes, unless your override it with a setting against a specific theme id.
The variable name is 'display_quick_reply', and the value is one of the following-
0 = don't show at all
1 = show, of by default
2 = show, on by default

I'm guessing this is one of the settings that has got to be hardcoded into SMF somewhere?

I've never had any reason to alter the default settings for new members, so I'm not sure where to make the changes...

Interestingly enough when I registered on smf and tp forums I never changed my profile to show quick reply, yet I'm using it as I type this.  I just need to know how to make my forum work like this too.

Thanks,
Roy

Oh, just found the setting!

admin panel -> Themes and Layout -> Reset Options

Under the default (core) theme, use Reset default (guest) options for this theme to set the default for new members, then Reset all members' current options for this theme to change the setting for existing members (the third option resets all options for existing members to the default settings)

Bingo...thank MC...so I was right, it was one of three issues...user error as it is most of the time.

Solved.
