I find it a pain in the ass that you cant edit who you are replying to when you edit posts.Lets say you replyed to someone but forgot to hit quick reply,so you edit the post but you have to put somthing to the nature of:EDIT:reply to blah blah blah....Is there anyway someone can make the reply to feature still active when editing a post?

Admins haven't been commenting on much at all lately. Pehaps they flew to Amsterdam or something.

I'm pretty sure this has been talked about before.
Something to do with the post number and not being able to change the reply-to.. I forget the specifics of it.
If I reply to the wrong person, I just copy the post, hit edit, then delete, then I just repost replying to the right person.

that would screw up the thread if your post is 10 posts up or something. in such case i would just edit in "meant as a reply to captain_octopus" or something at the bottom of the post.
at least then it stays where it's supposed to be in the thread.

Well there are ways of letting people you have fucked up the reply to option.And you can also delete your post before it is replied to and then make a new post.
But all this trouble could be spared if this option was avalable.

> Will an admin atleast comment on this idea?
Each subsequent post is associated directly with a parent post. To allow you to edit this could really bog down the database if there were many replies after yours, which would also have their parent history rearranged as your post could be a parent of their's, and so forth down the chain. This could invite attacks designed to bring our database to a crawl for one, and it would also be tedious to implement since this involves screwin' with the core code of the BB system. You should just - as the ToiletDuk suggested - reply to the right person to begin with!
> Admins haven't been commenting on much at all lately.
I've been on vacation, road trippin' up the coast and visiting old friends. I'm back in action but will be goin' through a hefty move at the end of the month - so don't expect any consistency from me until the end of July
