Invalid command: only When reading the new messages it would be easier to understand the last messages if we name or refer to the person,place, or thing. This would help refresh my memory. What you all say? Just a little reference.

I agree, if your away for more than a day it's easy to get lost.

You can always use the "Redisplay" function at the bottom to view the last few old messages.

Re: 75:2 - Redisplay would be easier to use if we were to adopt the habit of referring to the number of the response we are reacting to (if not actually quoting it in our own response) by using the topic number and the response number separated by a colon. In that manner it is also possible to refer to happenings in other topics.
