No 'picked on'-ness taken jcwren. I change the subject because RE:'s make me nauseous. As for making where my post is comming from clear, I suggested something earlier: For Newest nodes (or where ever), order newest nodes by the root node that they are a child of. Also group them up so that you have the root node's title at the top of a little section and all the new nodes it has under it, something like:

You could even indent the new nodes by the distance to the parent node, if you really want to (though I do not feel the need to include the option of showing all the nodes between the parent node and the new node!).

Anyway I'm going to keep changing the subject when I can remember, cause it's what I like to do (no disrespect to jcwren and the majority like him), but I do hope that the Newest Nodes section would have that option I just described above -- because I have the same problem with posts that don't have RE:'s. I just would rather kill RE:'s and live with having to figure out where a post came from :) .

Ciao!
