Thanks. I forgot to ping you when Poohbah gave me the link.
Another feature of FR that I like is the hyperlink that says "View Replies". You can follow a discussion down using this feature. Also you can find if another poster already answered a particular comment.
FR offers you a choice about which way you want to read a thread. You can follow a thread chronologically, by reading posts on the order they were logged. That's usually the way most newbies read a thread.
Or you may use the "View Replies" feature to read only replies to a comment, or the "To [a number]" feature to find out what comment is being responded.
