Dear Monks,

I have the Find Node on all my Perl Monks pages. One of the entries is "Recently Active Threads", which I find very helpful. Except, on that page when I click on one of the original posts(v. the responses under it), I am taken to a page that shows the original post and the replies. The replies have a "reply to" link next to each one of them--but the original post does not have a "reply to" link. The only way I have figured out how to reply to the original post is to go up to the top of the page and click on the link "Seekers of Perl Wisdom", and then locate the original post on that page. There has got to be a better way.

Also, is there a way to mark a thread that you want to watch, so that you don't have to go hunting through the current threads for it?

Thanks

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    The options for the post being viewed are between the body of the post and its replies. Looks like:

    Comment on Find Node - Recently Active Threads
    Send private /msg to 7stud

    (White on blue by default)

      Ah, thanks.

    I just clicked Comment on and I wrote this reply to your node.

    re marking: one way is to send yourself a message from the CB, in the form:
    /msg myusername [id://number]
      or, optionally,
    /msg myusername [id://number]|Optional short-form name-of-node]
    The message will show up in your Chatterbox block.
