When quoting a post, auto-add a link to the original post 

Post#1 » by rockmanslim » Sat Oct 4, 2014 2:51 am

Can this feature be added? Would be nice. Many other forums have this feature. For example:

http://www.barkinghard.com/forums/showt ... p?t=128671

In the 4th post in that thread, another post is quoted. Next to the username of the quoted poster, there is a small clickable icon that is automatically added, which when clicked takes you to the original post.

This is convenient for example if your reply to the quoted post will end up at the end of a multipage thread on say page 30, and the original quoted post is on some previous page. If you want to find the original quoted post, you have to guess which page it was on, so it requires some manual searching. If instead a link to the quoted post is included with the quote (as in the example), no guessing would be needed, since with a single click you would be taken to the original post.

That's an interesting request. I'll have Howard put it on our upgrade list of things to do next time we make a round of changes to the forums.
