GERVIC,

I prefer the threaded view when reading posts as well. I, also, sometimes get confused about which post a reply goes to.

When that happens, I switch to the unthreaded view where it is easy to see. From your comment, I suspect you do that, too.

When I reply to a post, I almost always include the username. I wonder if it would be possible for a reply to automatically start with something like:

Reply to {huser:username}

So, for example, this post would have automatically started with:

Reply to GERVIC

That would be nice no matter which view we used. It would also help to alert folks if they are accidently replying to the wrong post (which sometimes happens when folks use the threaded view).

It would also make it easier for me because right now we can't snag a username from the reply page. I often have to click back, snag the name, and return to my reply.

The StoryMaster, is my idea doable?

Gervic, Would that work for you?
