Type your message, go to message referred to and click quote. I have done it with this message and it works fine. regards David Posted by Pat on 04/08/2011 10:54:07: Hi David Clark At some time could you try and get the automatic numbering of the posts with in a thread given a number as this would make referring back to earlier comments much easier.

94 forum posts 1 photos	Hi David You have illustrated my point in that you have used up a load of extra lines in the thread. You could have just posted:- In response to post no 1 my response is:- No just use the quotes feature and paste in the appropriate lines The problem comes when there are many pages in the thread and people start to add quotes and then add in their comments without using anything to indicate what is a response against just a few lines of the original post as a quote. Just an observation - Regards - Pat

829 forum posts 1 photos	Not infrequently people want to refer someone to another thread. Sometimes the whole thread but if it's a long rambling one it's better to refer to the specific post or group of posts that contains the information. That would be much easier to do if the posts were numbered.
