Process and method for expanding reply capabilities within a computer implemented messaging thread network.

摘要

A computer implemented messaging process that expands reply capabilities and employs functions for propagating and referencing content data in a messaging network is described. The invention expands comment replies to a special tier of nesting that renders replies to replies as subordinate initial content, which can extend from any nested replies in the network. Furthermore, the process includes functions for transforming special tier content into stand-alone content and special tier content-referencing that allows special tier content to be attached onto any and all existing content in the network.

1. A computer implemented messaging process and method comprising: a. at least one data storage device comprising a database stored in a memory; b. the messaging system assigning code identifications to users and input in order to identify the user/input as either: 1. an administrator (user), title, topic and initial content for publishing a message board/thread, 2. a user and a reply to an initial content published, and 3. a user and a special tier reply, wherein the special tier reply is identified as both a reply to the initial content of the thread and an initial content for a subordinate thread issuing from the reply; c. the messaging process implementing a method wherein a user may designate a special tier reply as an independent thread published with a new topic and title, wherein the user whose reply was made initial content is administrator, and wherein any and all replies and any and all special tier replies having been posted previously are cut from the original thread and published into the new thread; and d. the messaging process implementing a method wherein a user may copy a reply to an initial content (or special tier reply) to a clipboard. The content copied to the clipboard can be attached to a different thread or another part of the same thread, wherein any and all replies and any and all special tier replies having been posted previously are copied from their original location and published in the new location, wherein the user may identify the copied content as either a reply to initial content or a special tier reply to any content in a different location in the same thread or in any other location in another thread.
