Considering that each user has its preferences...

Maybe could it be an per user option...

Like the "Notify me upon replies by default", something as "Expand QA by default"

I think we already have more than enough options, we can't make every single button on the UI configurable or nobody will know how to find any option anymore.

What I could imagine though, is collapsing it on all pages but the last. Since it's a bit less natural to reply before the end of the topic.
viewtopic code

Code: Select all

// let us set up the last page...only want quick reply to show on the last page
$qr_lastpage = ((floor($start / $config['posts_per_page']) + 1) == max(ceil($total_posts / $config['posts_per_page']), 1)) ? true : false;
$s_quick_reply = false;
if ($user->data['is_registered'] && $config['allow_quick_reply'] && ($topic_data['forum_flags'] & FORUM_FLAG_QUICK_REPLY) && $auth->acl_get('f_reply', $forum_id) && $qr_lastpage)
{
	// Quick reply enabled forum
	$s_quick_reply = (($topic_data['forum_status'] == ITEM_UNLOCKED && $topic_data['topic_status'] == ITEM_UNLOCKED) || $auth->acl_get('m_edit', $forum_id)) ? true : false;
}
will only show if on last page of topic.
