replying to a post.

[Sebastian]

greetings. someone enlighten me if this already exists.

When replying to a post no one has any idea who is replying to who, unless you quote their text, or type their name.

Is it possible to add a little line above your post indicating who you are replying to? If you reply to a post directly above yours nothing gets displayed which means you are responding to the person right above your post. BUT if you reply to someone else in the thread a little: "Responding to: username" will appear, look at the picture attached for an example. I think this would be useful instead of always quoting someone.

also maybe link the username in the "responding to:" to the actual post you are replying to.

okay, I have a question. Is it possible to reply to a certain post ID with vb? I see each post here has an ID (post # on upper right hand side of each post).

I am thinking of doing this myself, but I do not know if this is possible with vb to reply to a certain post and not to the entire thread in general, then I could probably add a reply link to each post and go from there.... any ideas?

Threaded View which allows you to see who replyed to what post will be standard in vB3.

[Sebastian]

apparently this will not be in vb3

anyone know if this is possible to do? take a look at the image in the first post for an example. it would be nice to know who you are responding to without quoting their post.

[Xenon]

yes, with vb3 this will be done, because you can use the quoted post id, without showing the quote itself

[Sebastian]

cool!
