Don, yes it does make perfect sense to reply to a specific post in the
openacs.org Forums. The Forums package keeps internal track of the
tree reply structure of posts. And when the Forums package displays
one single individual post, it
also displays all children
replies below it, tree-wise. Examples:
one,
two.
Of course, Nis, as this post demonstrates, if you display a post
singly the "Post a Reply" then replies to that specific post rather
than the first post in the thread, maintaining the threaded/tree
structure. This seems like a reasonable compromise between
specificity for power users and UI simplicity for newbies.
