Reply to a reply, not the thread

AARRRGH

Hello

This would be useful for the likes of the personal issues forum.

Sometimes you want to say something which is not a part of the main thread, but also not really suitable for a PM.

For example, I am debating something with someone and I want to say "Let's take this to the humanities forum".

I don't want to reply in the main thread as it's kind of an off topic post, but I'd also like to publically announce my comment.

So it's sort of a reply to a reply, rather than a reply to the thread.

Does that make any sense?

It could appear like a tag at the bottom of the post, kind of like the way the thanks message appears.

What do you reckon?

I'm a little confused.. you dont want to reply to the OP of the thread, but instead, a particular poster - not privately, but something that the public can see..

That's where the quote feature comes in..

Either in Quick Reply - clicking "Quote message in reply?" box - () or directly quoting the post ().

If you multiquote the post concerned, and then start a new thread somewhere, there is an option to include the quoted post in your new thread (with a valid link back to the original).

Then just post a link to the new thread in the original one.
