Thanks. I get the idea and can try that, but first...

There may be a way that (a) is suitable for frequent use, and (b) can be used by a moderator/administrator who will not have server access to edit the database.


Possible solution:

. . Example: A topic has two messages. Let's insert a new message between them.
    1. Move the first message to a new topic, creating the new topic in the move process.

    2. Post a Reply in the new topic, which is the content to be inserted. That becomes the second message in the new topic.

    3. Post a another Reply in the new topic, copying and pasting the contents of the old topic's last message. That's the new topic's third message.

    4. Delete the old topic.

    5. Smile.

Comment: Step three does not Move the last message of the old topic into the new topic. Instead, it copies-and-pastes the text into a new-topc Reply. That's because Moving a message into an existing topic does not add it to the end but replaces all existing messages in the target topic. Er, don't ask how I found out :)
