Nicely done, I hadn't thought of that, I did try using the thread title as the page title, but had no clue as to what the msgid was. So basically we just increment each reply by one to get the next id ?

Sounds simple enough.

The method "getCommentsPage" seems to be able to get all content for a particular thread, so it is possible to parse it and try to identify the specific thread id. The other alternative is to go through all the posts to find the one that needs to be edited, which can affect performance for big threads.

There's also the history controller that can help:

Perhaps because all this stuff is stored in a proper database it isn't as easy to search through it.
