Scriptwright	Just a suggestion: have the script detect if the post will be made on the same page, and if it is going to be on the same page, then just use the hash alone. (So that you can click on the quote, and just have it scroll up the page instead of reloading if it doesn't really have to). e.g.: <a href="#posts-145542">Quote</a> vs. <a href="http://userscripts.org/topics/30675#posts-145542">Quote</a>

I could could count the replies and if there were less than 25 then just use the hash. But what if you hadn't reloaded the page in awhile and somebody had already posted. This would push your post to the next page and make the quote link useless. I could always use ajax to check the number of replies when the "Quote" link is clicked, but if you take too long to write your reply somebody else could make the 25th post.

I'm super glad that you didn't implement this as I usually hand tailor the url to prevent or enable page reloads... and like you said one never knows if a link would go to the next page. :)

On an unrelated note, I did a clean up of the code today, and also send a message to Jake Dahn asking if he could implement by quoting script into the site. I don't know how much work it would require to adapt my code but I'll let you know what he says.

My machine is pretty fast too but occasionally I'll see it re-render.
