Adding a 'View Quoted Post' Button

In some forums (like the WotC forums), when you quote someone, it includes a little button in the quote-block, just after the quoted person's name that will jump you back to the original post.

Something like that would be a wonderful help to find the full context of the subject being discussed, especially in some of the multi-paged monster threads that crop up here.

Is that something that could be implemented here?

On the list! It should be part of EN World 2, coming as soon as we shake all the bugs loose. Good call.

I'm worried that with all these changes it just won't feel like EN World anymore.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I really like this quote-link idea. I am getting really excited for EN World 2 and its evolution.
