Currently it is not possible to reply to posts directly by pressing the reply button near a post without javascript and a quick reply form on the page.

The post message form could accept the ID of a post as a parameter indicating that the new post is replying to that.
The form could contain the [quote] of the original post by default.
The javascript catching the reply button press should be less enforcing. If no editor is found on the page, it should just exit without e.preventDefault() or returning false.

Scenarios where it would be useful:

  1. A user who hasn't logged in presses the reply button near a post.
    • Currently nothing happens.
    • The user should be redirected to the login screen, where (s)he can log in.
    • Then to reply page with the quote contained instead.
  2. User trying to reply from a page where no quick reply is present, for example the news page.
    • Same as above, but without the login.
  3. User accessing the forums without javascript, or the javascript breaks somehow.
    • Currently the form is presented, but it doesn't contain the quote.
    • There should be a quote.
