Won't the View Conversation added to beta 5 do the same thing?

I don't know, I haven't checked it out.

No it doesnt. This mod takes a user to the profile page of the user who left the comment(so that a reply can be made). Whereas view conversation shows the replies between 2 users, a bit different.

Thanks.

OK, I'm still confused. Why would you want to go to a page that doesn't have both sides of the conversation on it?

I know its confusing its hard to explain lol....

When click 'reply to comment', it takes you to the profile page of the user who has commented in your profile page, so you may reply to them on their page.... view conversation doesn't do this.

Once again, why would you want to do that? Since it doesn't allow you to quote, you won't be able to reference the message you are replying to. To each his own, I guess. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Well we find it encourages people to use the visitor messaging system, and spread the messages around, rather than have one big list in a particular users profile. Anyway one of my developers loves it so it works well for us.

If I understood the View Conversation right, when you click the View Conversation link it takes you to the same page this one does but in conversation mode.

Do you use myspace? When someone posts a comment on your myspace page there is a reply to comment link that allows you to leave a comment on that persons page without going to it. Same concept.
