.....or that way Just seems that the places I've seen something similar done, its a bunch of boxes and seems to make the thread appear out of order some times. Just my opinion. I'm sure there are multiple ways to organize it.

Yeah, while I can see how that would help, I agree w/Ewayota. There is a dog training forum I frequent and it has the reply to. Sometimes it gets messy too cuz you read an answer that makes no sense to the last post. Then you see they are replying to xxx and are like "oh". I think it's better to offer an incentive of $1 to everyone to just use the quote system.

what's the difference between "reply to" and "quote"??
i'm guessing "reply" is not the same thing, as over on Supramania we have "reply" and it also 'quotes' the message just as the "quote" button here does...

WOW i just found the Multi quote tab button. I have over 4400 posts, and Have always wondered how the hell people multi-quoted without cutting and pasting.
What would be the point of "reply to" In order for anyone to figure out where the comment was directed, wouldn't the orignal text need to be quoted in the post? If not, you could just hit "post reply".

DeathCougar, usually on a forum that has the reply to it will show the persons name who you are replying to.

agreed. i dunno what vBulletin does for placement and visibility but i'd be willing to bet it's not easy to notice. quotes, if used responsibly, and cut-down to only include a few sentences, work well. for example i did it to DeathCougar's post ![]() ONE suggestion I have, at least for the layout i'm using, is to make the backgrounds of the quotes a DIFFERENT COLOR, maybe gray, so they are easier to differentiate between them and normal text. I did just switch from extreme to the original though and it's not so bad. with a black background everything is harder to read.

Oops I forgot to go back to this post.
No. The Reply To feature does NOT automatically include quotes, or boxes. I do not know what you guys are talking about. I was NOT refering to that. All the Reply To function does is at the top of each indivdual post, next to the time and date you replied, it says "Re: Name_of_poster", to the person you are replying to. It's a very simple way, not confusing things. Its too bad EWAYToyota basically denounced my idea now people probably think its a bad idea. Whatever. I did a quick search, and here's a good reference: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/show...83/an/0/page/0 Notice the replier has the RE: Original poster. There is nothing else complicated about this.

I like the way roosterteeth.com does it. When you click the Reply button it will put something like...
In reply to SC4Runner, #10 at the first of your post. where SC4Runner is the username of the person your replying to and the #10 is their post number so if your confused you can go look at exactly what post that person replyed to. It really helps cut down on reply boxes and makes everything just that much neater.
