I wish the forum admin(s) would make it easier to see which message a reply is replied to, but no, of course they won't.. we wouldn't want these forums to be easy to use, now would we?
For the record: now you can see who a reply is to, but not to which message if there are more than one.

You're not having any trouble seeing who THIS post is replying to, right? Hmm, what did I do different? Maybe there IS a way....

How about thinking a bit before you post? Of course there are numerous ways to show which message is being replied to when you write the reply, but that was not the issue here. Mr. sethmuss apparently thought I was replying to him because it wasn't apparent that I wasn't. In pretty much all other forum systems it would have been obvious which message a reply is replied to since the messages would be threaded, or numbered and having an "in reply to message #7"-like field in the header, or some other way of identifying the fact.

Think about what? What did *I* do? Look, I'm not disagreeing with ya, it'd be nice to show how the posts thread out.. All I'm saying is that it's not like there's no way to show who you're replying to..

Btw, this is shown the title of the "In Reply To"-link. In most browsers this is shown in a tooltip and/or in the status bar when pointing at the link.

About if/how your reply relates to what you're replying to.

I don't disagree with you here, but that was not exactly what I was talking about, although it wasn't very far from it either.
Anyway, I'm sorry for my harsh replies here.. I'm not exactly spreading happiness and joy with that kind of tone in my replies. :-(
