Having all the reply's listed when making a reply was removed to save bandwidth. I'd suggest that if you need to refer back to a post when making a reply, you should right click on the "post reply" button and have that open in a seperate window, so that you don't have to wait for the whole thread to download again.
There is a link at the bottom of the reply window now that will display the thread for you if you want to refer back to it.
