(/msg [node_id]) Re: /msg to [author] of the [node]

in reply to /msg to [author] of the [node]

i can see using something like /msg [node_id] to tell someone they've mispelled something, or have a code bug. i'd find it helpful because sometimes the chatterbox nodelet input form and the node author cannot be viewed without scrolling.

i thought i could work around this my changing my "custom node title", (mine is currently defined in User Settings as %N | %T | %S, which gives me node id, title, and section.) unfortunately, node author isn't available, so i can't tell who authored the root node from my titlebar. it does, however, give me the node id, which i could use as stated above.

perhaps this is a subtle departure from your idea, but that's the direction in which you got me thinking.
