Using TB 60.3.1 (32-bit)

It seems that with TB 60, the Add On "Change quote and reply format" is no longer compatible. This add-on allowed me to have TB close the original message window when I hit "Reply".

Is there now a setting in TB itself that would allow this? Or is there another way to make this happen?

Thank you!

Chosen solution

I would post the question in this forum, especially this thread, as there are a few experts who might be able to edit the add-on to make it fully compatible.

I managed to install the Close On Reply add-on in TB 60.3.1, but it only appears to work with messages opened in tabs, not windows.

To install, first open Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor and double-click the preference extensions.strictCompatibility to false, OK to close Options. Drag the Download Now button and drop it on Tools/Add-ons/Extensions.

Thank you, but you hit the nail on the head - I open messages in separate windows.

I have to say I find TB 60 to be a step backwards in user friendliness!

Thank you again for replying!
