Message icons for quick reply Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I was wondering how feasible it would be to allow us to select a message icon (besides the default) when using the quick reply feature. Obviously this isn't absolutely necessary, it'd just be a nice addition to the quick reply feature IMO so long as it doesn't cause too much additional page cluttering.

I think it would look too cluttered, personally.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

A way to declutter the option would be to use a combo box for it (similar to the Rate This Thread combo box)...

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

If too many features got tacked on to the Quick Reply, the actual "Post Reply" button would become redundant. Hmm . . .

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Well, its not like we need to keep the actual post reply option there. For us regulars anyway. (When you are logged out, you don't get a quick-reply option)

I would also worry that having that many icons in a drop-down selection box would increase time needed to load the page.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

No, the quick reply is good as it is. If you want more features (as subject, attachment and message icons you should use the normal reply.)

I agree with Gramphos. The only grumble I have is that the box could be a tad wider.
