When we are replying to a message would it be possible to see the message we are replying to while we do it, I have a shocking memory and it would make things a lot easier for me:)

Hello Jabber
I think that if you press the icon below ''ADVANCE POST'' you have both your text and of what's written, try it sometime.

Hi Jabber,

You might like to try 'quoting' a member's post - like i've done here. You'll see the post you are replying to appear in the text box - you can cut bits out of it if you're replying to a certain part of a post, as long as the tags stay!

The latest version of the software, which we upgraded to last night, allows for 'multi-quoting'.

Click this button on each post you want to quote:

Until it turns red like this:

Then hit 'Post Reply' at the bottom of the page. Each of the posts you selected will show up. You can even post quotes from other threads!

It's also worth noting that if you click 'Post Reply', the last posts in the thread are shown at the bottom of the page, newest at the top, for your reference.
