i there, since i've not recieved the answer i needed i retry:
i'd like to show a SUBJECT box also in the reply topic. The line in that box should appear in the whole body of the reply, in BOLD and then two lines above, the rest of the message: this could be useful to redirect a reply directly to one memeber, and give a bit more order to the appearence..
i'm answering to lyllo
rest of the message.
I give thanx to cripto9, but since i cannot use ASP very well, i cant use topic qich are not specificcally dedicated to my problems..

why not use the Reply with Quote feature? that shows the text from the message you're replying to...
example:
quote:
i there, since i've not recieved the answer i needed i retry:
i am replying to your post because i quote your text...

because it is not so clear as if there is a bold line which re-calls the attention...
is it so difficult to apport this modify, that none wants to explain me how to do it?

On my forum I have it working as:
Reply to Username
quote
bkah
/quote
etc, is that what you mean or do you just want a button that puts replying to Username in the message?

so you want the contents to this new box to be enclosed in [ bold ] [/ bold ] forum code tags, two vbcrlf added to it (to add you two new lines) and then added to the top of the reply they post?
that is:
quote:
text from this new 'mega' box
normal reply text

I think he wants a new text box in the reply form, where he could write whatever he pleases and that would show with some kind of special formating in the reply....

but why can't they just write waht they want in the reply box, that is what it is for, why would they want two reply boxes, most people get confused enough as it is.

oh, i get it, he wants his replies to have subject too, like actual threads, and he wants them to be auto formatted to look so.

he wants something similar to vbulletin, an optional title field for the replies (if they don't enter any value for it, it prints re: title of the topic.
I aggre with others about the fact that it's not necessary. However, if you want to do it, it mustn't be that hard. Even without any change in the DB you may add a new field to the post.asp.
and you can manipulate the form field, later in post_info.asp like this,
strMessage = strMessage & "[b ]" & request.form("reply_title") & "[/b]
" &_
"
" & request.form("message") & "
"
strSql = "INSERT INTO " & strTablePrefix & "...
babygate's threaded view is like what you want;

yeah, I did this to my forum because someone visited a
phpBB board that allows a sub-description to the subject
line.
here is a screen shot
I really hacked at my forum to piece this together but if interested
I will make every effort to package it up as a mod for those
interested. I have 3 other projects I am working on right now but
I can add this to the list.
