QUOTE-reply suggestion...

[Terr]

Instead of just inserting "Originally Posted by USER", what about "Originally Posted by USER in #POSTNUMBER"? And maybe make that a link to the quoted post? I'm talking about the purple "quote" button that opens a reply form. For example:

I think it's a Good idea !!

I agree with you, dear Teer…
That could be really cool…
But I think that it would be better if you could quote from another post, something like:

so you can refer to other posts to...

Good Idea Terr....what are doing bucking for more antipoints? LOL
Just joking;)

[Terr]

Not more Greenies! They're gonna fatten me and eat me up! Auuugghh!

Thanks, but I think I don't want to be too conspicious... the Antipoint Mafia'll give me an offer I can't refuse.

Great idea Terr.

That would help instead of searching thru all of the post trying to find out where it was.

[protocool]

maybe it's a bright idea., as well as we know what, and when the post originally posted.

Excellent idea...When you check your antipoint comments you could then go to the exact post you got points on instead of just the thread. Or is that how it works already? It doesn't seem to work that way for me and it gets confusing when you have numerous posts in a given thread.

Antihaxor, I'm not sure if you understood it correctly, but your idea is good too! Terr meant the thing that appears also in your message, "Originally posted by Terr". He want's the post number to be next to it automatically, which I also think is a good idea.

And the "Originally posted by Blah in POST" would itself be a link to that post, in case it was on a different page :p

Well, the problem I have with listing post #'s etc. is that sometimes threads get split into 2 different threads if they go off topic, etc. In that case, everything would just get all messed up.

But, what I can do, and did do, was this:

Where the word "here" is a link to the original post.

I know it's not exactly what was requested, but I hope you find it useful.
