Is it possible to have the name of the person you're replying to - to the message that is - on the Post New Message?

Often I have to go back to the board to see what the name is - not that I can't remember a name, but I sometimes I just forget if it's with a capital or not, or with 2 t's or r'2 or whatever.

Yeah, I totally agree fatline! Personally, I think it's a useless feature.

You could try to copy it from the board and then insert into your message

Of course, but what I mean and what I think bin means is once you are on the Post New Message screen (like I am now) you can't see the name of the person you are responding to.

Yes, that was what I meant, but copying is a good idea too, as long as/since we don't have that feature.
