When you make a quote to post, you're given something along the lines of:
Quote:
Original post by Username This is the quoted text.... Yup, quoted indeed!
I think it would be neat if the "Original post by Username" text were setup as a link to the original post itself, using the provided "Link" url given at the bottom of each post. It would end up being something like the following:

As you see, clicking on the "Original post by Rob Loach" will direct your browser to focus on the post itself. Note that you may have to reduce the size of your browser window to see the true effect. I think it would be a neat feature to add to the quoting system.

I believe, too, that this is a good idea. Besides, the lower-right link does not work correctly (it interacts badly with posts-per-page settings) so it would be a good occasion to correct this.

Your own post seems to be missing a bit, though.

You're using it wrong. Don't click the link, copy it.
