I know that it's easy to distinguish which comment a reply is made to in threaded mode, but an indication of who and what the comment is in reply to in the Classic mode would be a very good addition. Unfortunately, users don't always remember to quote the comment they are replying to and in very large threads with many different posters, viewing in threaded mode is not a very good option. If a simple line like the one I have put at the top of this post could be prefixed to replies in classic mode that would really help from a usability standpoint. Maybe this is not the best way of going about fitting it in to the interface, but I'm sure you get the general idea of my suggestion.
