Issue Summary
Feature just popped into my head... "quote" button that quotes the post into a new node to start a spin-off discussion.

Yes yes yes. I've long thought this would be a great addition to any forum software.
IMO "flat" forums hide discussions. Threaded (with changing subject lines) at least let you know when the subject changes, but it takes up a lot of real estate on the screen.
This, IMO, is a killer-function for drupal forums. PLEASE! I'll test!

It's something I'd like as well but is not a simple feature. I'm not sure if it will make it into 2.x or not. Depends on how much time I have.

What about it?

Does it solve the problem or I am missing the point here?
#11
Not that I'm aware of... I haven't updated the module in a while but I don't recall it having an option to spin off conversations. The only relation I can think of is taking advantage of the code it uses to pull across the quoted material to the new node.

Ok, define spin off conversation. What is expected module functionalty?
#13
Oftentimes on my forum someone will mention something in a thread that's totally off topic for that thread but still interesting. If I respond there, the thread will get derailed. I would like to select the interesting text, click a button and have Drupal create a new topic node with that quoted text, leave it open for my additional thoughts and, on save, go back and link to it from the original post.
BTW, I'm not expecting you to write this. I bumped it to 7.x because I won't get to it any time soon and so it's not likely to happen in 6.x. Feel free to set it postponed if you want it out of the active queue.

Thanks for the explanation. I understand now. I thought there was a simple solution for that :)

Probably won't be done before 2.0 release.
