I can;t for the life of me find documentation on doing this. I would like to remove the multiquote button seen when viewing a thread. I would like to replace it with a quote button. See attachment for what mine looks like now.

Do you want to change just wording on that button?

[warboc]

Thanks for the welcome. I cannot even begin to thank you for this area of your site. It is beyond useful for me!

Well, I am a Vbulletin convert here. Ideally, in using it more, I would like for the Reply button to go to the editor without quoting the text. Then I would like to have a Quote button that works as the Reply button does now. And totally remove the current multiquote button/the way it functions. It's been my experience that multiquote only confuses my users, in the previous Vbulletin setup.

So in short:
Change text on "Reply" button to "Quote"
Remove current Quote & Multiquote buttons
Add a Reply button that opens up editor without quoting

OK, we have very different levels of difficulty here.

1. Removing any button is an easy task
2. Changing button's wording is more complicated as it requires editing an image (all button are images, not pieces of a code)
3. Changing button's function requires rewriting a piece of board's code (if possible).

I understand, those buttons ARE confusing, but we're not talking here about some simple task.
Maybe, maybe on weekend free time, I can give it a shot.

Yep, 2 & 3 definitely don't seem to be too simple.

I am all for the simple solution of accomplishing 1 though. Save your time, that would be more than enough to simplify things until I get a better grasp of doing all of this myself. :)

Unfortunately, seemingly easy task, appears to be not that easy.
Apparently "MultiQuote" button code is somehow interlocked with "Unapprove" button code.
When I remove 1st one, the 2nd one is missing too.

More time needed :)

I've been also annoyed by people clicking on "Reply" button, thinking it's a normal reply button, so I took some time and fixed it:



Changing "Reply" wording to "Reply with quote" should be rather clear for most people.

Thanks so much Broni!

[Pskater]

While we are at it, could you also show me how to remove the "unapprove" button, its useless for us because we either edit or delete posts, no approval necessray. THANKS!
