Has anyone other than me noticed the growing amount of confusion over that little (in reply to) thing in the corner of all our posts? When I started posting, no one ever paied attention to that, but lately people have been getting very odd about it. I know, personally, I use the quick reply window thing on the bottom, unless I am directly quoting someone. That automatically makes your entry in reply to the person directly above you when you write it. Most of the time, I dont even really look to see who that is.
Is this something we might want to ask the forum gods to remove? It has become enough of a problem to nearly derail conversations, people get insulted for no reason, and I know at least I have gotten PMs explaining someones position when they have thought I replied directly to them in a matter. Or can we just go back to ignoring the little autotag in the corner and just read the information contained in the posts. If we are referenceing someone, we usually say so.
Not sure why this is on my mind this morning, I guess I am seeing it more and more often and it seems like a sily reason to get ruffled. But maybe its just me.
Anyone else have a take on this?
