Hi All

This happening to be the 50th Node,I would like to write something more constructive ( in comparision to my own nodes )for this monastery with which I am in love with.

Observation : When replying a node the preview radio button takes to a new page where only the newly written reply is visible and not the root node to which the reply is for.

Suggestion : When previewing there are not only formatting mistakes people like me commit but also some mistakes due to over looking or wrong assumptions about the rooth node , hence i putforth a suggestion to display the root node to which the reply is at the top and below which the reply node appears allowing the user to see the mistake of formatting and technical mistakes.

Visually something like...

Re^2: seeking advice on xxxx

Regards

Prad

    A trick i learned a looong time ago is to open the reply in a new tab. That way, before i submit my reply, i can switch back to the original tab, press the Chatterbox "talk" button and not only ensure that i am quoting properly (etc.), but also ensure that i am not repeating what some quick draw monk has already posted.

      pssssh... i got you beat. I copy the OP in xemacs (where I also do my spellchecking for my comment) and monitor the thread by constantly refreshing the 'Recently Active Threads' link in another tab.
