Lets say I have hit replay w/ quote. The above shows up.

I think it would be cool to have a small link [read] that links to the post I quoted from. (perhaps a popup window w/ the 1 post)

Perhaps this has been done.

No, this has not been done...

You should just edit the following templates:
bbcode_quote_printthread and bbcode_quote

Might as well need to edit function handle_bbcode_quote($message, $username = ''), which is in class_bbcode.

I've seen this done in invision before. It's called a 'trackback'. It's just a little arrowy image with the link as you mentioned. (more discrete than 'read')

It's code is [snapback]735053[/snapback] where that's the post id

Presumably the snapback code itself is a right alligned image icon that when clicks goes to the post id in question.

I'm not sure what php or template governs the quoting, but adding something to do with this code before the [ / quote ] would be where it'd go.

I'd like this hack.
