Well, I agree tye! I haven't been able to check the site as often as I want to, so I haven't been paying attention to the Newest Nodes section. But yeah, if you CTFT then you will probably throw people off concering that sectionl. We should definately consider fixing this problem.

My first thought on the matter of fixing Newest Nodes though, was that we wouldn't have room to put both the title of the post, and the refering post's title on the same line. However, it would be just as useful to mention the ultimate parent's node, rather than the immediate parent's. If this was the case, then we could sort replies based on that field (the ultimate parent), and then simply note that information once for each offending reply: 

Replies:
[Deep Linkage]:
  [Yeah but I think...]
  [Happy birthday!]
[Arrays in Hashes]:
  [Use it like this:]
  [No no no...]

[download]

Which would be much more sensible (you could even space the replies, and build a tree if you wanted)

Ciao,
Gryn
