Special Reply Button

[Wormopolis]

browsers tested: IE, FF, and Chrome
placement: global footer

Creates a new reply button at the top of each post that will store who the author of the post is. when the reply is displayed, it will show at the top who the reply was to.

sorta along the lines of quoting a post without putting quoted content in your reply.
