Tech Geek, that is standard behaviour of WikiForum 
http://manual.wikiation.nl/Level_2_wikiforum

It is used in its own namespace but could be used instead of the 
discussion page as well. It give
much more structure and enforce respectation the time depending 
structure of the thread.

It is propriety software. It is part of Wikibox Blue of Wikiation

This very valueble for my Organisation. I have many doubts, but maybe I 
consider to make it Open
Source. I will start a new thread about this.

Sorry but I reply very rare, and sometimes my replies were not commited.

Thanks.
