As I mentioned earlier, I use these and link the parent post number back to the parent post, which doesn't work right now if the posts spread over multiple pages... I think I have an idea on how to make it work so that you can jump to that post, but I'm not 100% sure.. And it might be cool to add in the name too. The user can expand the number of posts to show per page so that it would generally always work, but obviously that slows down the page loading. I'm hoping to look at this in the next couple of days. I think they are very useful in flat mode, if you can use them in this manner... I'll keep you posted if I get it working, I just need to get my forums soft launched with a small mailing list I have to get some feedback from visitors before I make them live..
