And here is a post with a linked quote.

Hmm. Doesn’t seem to work.

On another board I just discovered, when you reply to a specific post, the poster’s name appears with the post’s ID number as above, and vBB interprets it as a link to the quoted post. I’d love that functionality here.

Too much for the hamsters, or not the right version of vBB?
