Those help lines in the forums, that makes it possible to see which post is the parent of the post you're currently watching, is indeed very helpful.
But when a thread spans over several pages they don't work any more.
So I'd like to have a button that redirects you to the parent post so that I can see the post someone is responding to. Preferably a simple link like the permalink so that you can open it in a new window.
But only if it's easy to implement, I would still prefer this[^] solution that you have as an open item.

 I second this.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That only shows one page, limited to the number of messages per page you have set, regardless of how many messages there are in the thread.
<edit>Now it shows more than one page.  But the problem as I described it in the first post remains as I still can't see the parent of a post on an earlier page.</edit>

Nice solution. Good job
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I like your solution. But I have a small remark.
When I use the scroll wheel click it doesn't open it in a new window, nor does ctrl+click.
Are you doing something special so that this doesn't work.
Right click does give me the menu to then choose to open in new tab but I'm so trained in using the scroll click or ctrl+click that that is actually the last thing I thought off 
Might be a browser issue tho and if so just ignore this.

I'm handling the onclick event instead of a straight href because I need to open the parent and scroll the window for messages already in the current page.

I figured it might be something like that.
No problem, still a nice feature

Already done. That's quick.

How do I get rid of the "editorial note" that was auto-inserted into my most recent tip?

You've posted the tip in the Mentor Resources section that's meant to provide tips for new authors.
I'd suggest choosing a different section. Actually we probably need a new section. Suggestions?

Well, it seemed to be the right place to do it. I'll change it to scrapbook...

Nah - the scrapbook is no good. What if we renamed this[^] to Work and Training?

I think a new section called Training and Certification would be more appropriate...

When I'm moderating articles on my tablet, I like to zoom in to the "approve/report" button - to make it easier to select the right option from the list with my fat fingers.
But when I do, and the top of the "should this article be published?" boxout hits the top of the screen, the advert on the right side of the screen "floats" across the screen, and gets in the way.
This might show you what I mean:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxaczegaroqsg3b/Screenshot_2015-01-23-13-47-21.png?dl=0[^]
That's in "full site" view, Lollipop 5.0.2, Chrome 40.0.2214.89, Javascript version 3.30.33.15
Doesn't seem to happen in "regular" chrome on Windows.

Yay!

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

The timing of this bug is actually stunning in it's elegance and inappropriateness, but unfortunately a database change last night is causing an issue with sigs. Not intentional and I'll get them back in an hour or so.

Are you sure you want to? I'm not sure it's exactly inappropriate.

The community demands the celebratory nipple tassel sig.
I can do naught but obey the whims of the masses.

If only that were true....
