DU needs a way to respond to a thread without actually opening the thread
I.e., the Reply button should be on the topic listing page - it would save a lot of time.

1. How about
reply tic boxes. Pick the ones you want and send the same reply to a whole gang of threads at once.

2. Even better! Also, there should be an option to send the same reply to
every post within a thread...

3. With auto repeat
that would bounce the same reply back at every response.

6. I'll bet there's a startup in there somewhere.
You could create a service to do it for people, and they wouldn't have to click at all!

5. Discouraging literacy....If people can open the thread they can practice reading
and comprehension rather than just mindless typing?

7. And conversation.
I have a tendency to read all replies to a thread before adding my own. Especially when someone posts a specific question. How many people are needed to post the same reply over and over again. :shrug:
