Off-Topic Posts

I know off-topic posts are frowned upon (i know ), but it seems unavoidable...sometimes it's just easier because you can answer a quick question

instead of having those kinds of posts act like a regular response, is there a way to make the option of posting it on the side? as in next to the post the off-topic post is referring to?

or make responses/comments in the post they are referring to? to save space...

I guess the first suggestion would make each thread scroll in four directions, but for the people that do not want to read the off-topic post, they can avoid having to be able to see it...so it's more of a secondary kind of post

I guess this would mean changing the format of vBulletin...

it's too hard



imho, it just seems unnecessary to post a whole new thread just to answer someone's tiny question...
