I find this site confusing, in reference to the way replies are displayed etc. I look at my nodes(nodes you wrote), and see some as re^2 and some as not. Also, 2 replies, well what I thought would be replies, just haven't appeared at all. Why is the site designed this way? Seems quite tiring, or am I just being a pain myself? hehe. Enlighten me please, as I find the help here dandy, indeed. Cheers.

Unless you are a bastard like me (and a few others), who believe "Re(garding):" is enough information for each level of reply, and who consistantly takes away the annoying "^\d" patterns (as a silent protest to horrible MUAs that started the "Re: Re: Re:..." subject prefix drama) ;-)
got it. Sorry for the annoying post. Cheers.

I have to say I dont really see the point in editing it out. It can be useful to see the depth of a node just by looking at its title. For instance 'Re^25:' is pretty suggestive of a thread that has gotten out of hand and might not be worth reading.

Normally you don't look at them. I guess they are there, so you can quickly scan for responses to certain questions, which may interest you, but you were not the original poster. For instance if "Bob" asks a question, and you respond, Bob get a notification message that you responded when he uses the site. Now if Bill responded to your response, you would get a notification, but not Bob. But if Bob glances thru the Notes, he may see his topic and realize someone else has inputed information.
Basically, you want to read the "Questions" section, for an orderly view.

To answer your question, the "nodes you wrote" gives a list of all nodes you have written in chronological order. If you go to any of the nodes you wrote, you will see that there are links at the upper-right corner for "in reply to" and/or "in thread". The "in thread" is what you seem to want. It will display the root node and all replies in a threaded format.
Wait till you meet some of the regulars here!

Yes, and if your initial reaction is "What kind of convoluted, twisted minds am I dealing with here?" ... just take a look at this section of the Monastery, and all will become clear. ;-)
