/\ eloquently put rick.

see, if this was in kawf, you would know exactly which post you were replying to, without having to quote it. now, i have no idea which quote you are responding to. and if you would have quoted the message in your post, it would be unnecessary filler.

That's not the case with most vB forums and a welcome change

Default Yes, that is a point I thought I made earlier

Here is a case where I have to type something in the body because I answered the question in the subject (er. Title) line.

Had you replied to or quoted the thread we would know. Wouldn't be an issue with KAWF.

Actually vB done properly works well. This implementation s@cks anu$. A good vB would have been perfectly fine. They could still fix it. Like put the threaded tree for the threaded option AT THE TOP of the pages. Works great on the GOOD vB sites.

As noted above, it was clearly done purely for the back-end cost factor - standardize for support purposes.

Aargh. Living proof. Meant to respond to OP at bottom of thread. Couldn't tell where I was. Because the posts are ABOVE the tree. STUPID!
