Hi Alex

A 'quick fix' to this which could be implemented without any extra work is to make the title in the bread crumb trail 'clickable' so you can open the original thread in a new window if you choose.

This is already implemented when you edit your message - the thread title is displayed in the bread crumb trail and you can click it to view the thread. Would is not be too difficult to this when replying to threads/posts too? It just basically means getting rid of the 'Reply to post' at the end of the trail and replace it with the hyper linked thread title.

Cheers
