    Many other vBulletin boards show previous posts in the reply page, somewhere underneath the text box.

    This is really helpful for referencing what's been said previously as you reply.

    Can CreditNet activate this function for the forums?

    Just hit the QUOTE button instead of the reply button like i did here.

    Yeah, that's not what I'm talking about, lbrown.

    That just puts a single reply into quotes.

    I'm talking about the entire thread history, or at least several dozen recent replies, shown below the reply box.

    I have wondered the same thing. I have a "reply" in mind, so I hit the reply button and then when I get there I forget what my point was...cancel... go back... re-read the thread...decide what to write..... It's tedious.

    It would help alot to show at least the last few posts rather than everythin diappearing when you hit "reply".

    You can actually use the back button on your browser to go back and look at the posts, then the forward button to return. DON'T hit refresh or anything else, but you can go back and look. I think you can only go back one page, though.
