New forum feature while viewing threads

[Chris Blount]

I've added a small forum feature that I'm going to let you guys decide if we want to keep or not.

Haven't you ever looked at a reply post with no quote and wondered what the writer was talking about? There might a solution to that problem.

You will see now that above each reply is a small line of text stating the post the reply is regarding. This might be very useful for mult-page threads allowing the user to easily jump to the original posts in case there is no quote.

Even with a quote, it gives the option of bouncing back to the entire post if the reader so chooses.

I think you will understand better as you begin to use it.

Try this feature out for a few days and let me know what you think. Should it stay or go?

Thanks!

I like it. There are times when I really don't want to quote a whole post in replying, but in order to maintain context I had to do so. Now I shouldn't, I can rely upon the notation of the post to which I am replying. Should make reading threads easier once people become accustomed to it.
