Yes, you are remembering correctly and making sense.
In the old forum before Oct 2003 a statement was made giving the number & name right at the beginning of a reply post.
Example:
This is a reply to # xxxxxx by Click Clack
... or at least it seems it used to be there ...?
When I would reply to a post in a thread, a link to the post I was replying to would be included in my post once it was applied.
I remember how nice that was because in some of the long threads, especially in SE, I would easily be able to look back at what the post was that was being referred/replied to if it was WAY above the one I was reading.
Now I have to follow the dotted line back up to where ever it may connect to in order to find out WHO and WHAT came before.
Am I remembering correctly? And am I making any sense?
(boy, did I set myself up on this one! LOL )
Thanks,
Marcia/Oregon
