I think Gamespot should have a topic review feature as you post.
When you push the little button to reply to a thread, whether here or in Union forums, there ought to be a copy of the last page or so of the thread under the text editor for you to review as you respond.
That probably made no sense and I can't think of how to word it, so here is an example.
Among other things, this would be very useful for quoting other users. If you want to know what was said specifically, you would no longer need to either copy your entire post, hit 'back', review it and create the reply again, or make a new tab and navigate back to the thread to re-read it.
This is a pretty basic feature most forums have, but then again most of my experience with this feature has come from PHPbb based forums. I'm not sure whether it is able to be implemented here, because I'm not familiar with the technology involved.
But hey, that's not my job! I'm just supposed to come up with the neat ideas. :D
Anyway, it's pretty annoying having to find my way back to the thread in order to adress key points in a conversation, or to get exact wording on quotations.
What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance, also I like muffins a lot.
[EDIT] Fixed the link. :D
