If you have Quick Reply turned on, the user who is not logged in, will not see the Quick Reply box.
If they only have read only access or are not logged in, they will see,

After entering their login information, they will be taken to the post reply page for the post they were just viewing.

On one install where I've made quite a few customizations, I've modified the language file to instead say,
You are not logged in or you have read-only privileges for this forum. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
2. You may not have sufficient privileges to access this page.
3. If you are trying to post, your account may be awaiting activation.
Control Panel > Languages > Language Editor
Select language file: newreply.php
Click: GO
Modify: READ_PERM
-OR-
Just edit the file directly: languages/default/newreply.php
$ubbt_lang['READ_PERM'] = "You have read-only privileges for this forum.";
