Thanks. I'll try it as soon as I get back tomorrow. Can't wait.

Curious: Why not just change the message ID and leave everything else alone?

Example:
    The entire board has message IDs up to 500.
    The last three messages in the particular thread (topic) are 444, 445, and 499.
    A new message must be inserted between 444 and 445.

Can we:
    Add the new message to the end of the thread, which creates new message 501.
    Assign a new ID to 445, creating 502.
    Assign a new ID to 499, creating 503.
Would that put them in the correct order?

If it's not easy or safe to mess with message IDs, can we:
    Use the Reply button to post the contents of the new message to the end of the thread, creating 501.
    Use the Reply button to add a new message, which will become 502.
    Copy and paste the contents of 445 into the new 502, and post it.
    Delete 445.
    Use the Reply button to add a new message, which will become 503.
    Copy and paste the contents of 449 into the new 503, and post it.
    Delete 449.
Would that low-tech method work?
