For one thing, anyone's Avatar remains and their Signature remains if someone clicks on the post.

It is the 'clicking on the post' that can get time consuming if there are several posts to follow. . If someone simply posts 'Congratulations, nice find'. in the text and the Subject is just a quote copy they are replying to, then simply moving the short reply into the Subject Box followed by the red N/T lets a person run through the posts and see a direct reply without having to click on the post to read it. If the posted reply was longer than the Subject Box, then it stays as-is.

I am working on making some changes to the Forums next year where there would be direct replies to a post for everyone to read and no need to have a reply with a continuing Subject Box. It would just be the initial thread tropic. Less horsing around, and no need to edit. Oh, I can do an edit for anyone who might have misspelled something or had some other typing error, IF THEY REQUEST in an e-mail or PM to me.
