If there is one thing I would change right now, it would be this.. I would like to be able to review the entire thread while I am replying, and not just the specific post I am replying to. Is there any way to do that?

I second that motion

What I have done is create a duplicate window with the thread before goint to reply. Works for me

smaug, I agree, that'd be a good feature to have. I believe the beta version of the next release is doing this, but I really don't want to upgrade until they make a final product. Sorry for the current inconvenience.
