Very small feature request here November 13, 2012 11:11 am TB

I use both the main board and the comment dashboard to track posts and comments. The main board shows the “leader” for a comment, but the comment dashboard does not. Most people start a comment on their leader and finish it in the rest of the comment, so to see the whole thing I have to back to the main board.

I want to avoid this in comments I make, so I still use the “paragraph” command to set off my first leader line (the “p, /p” thing.) Then I get the leader line on the main board, but it still shows up in the comment dashboard.

This is easy enough, but if you enter a reply comment for the first time on the main board, this “p” command on the first line is ignored and deleted. Other format comments come through just fine. So I have to go back and re-edit every comment to plug the format command back in again.

Can this be fixed?
