For example i noticed that the “Reply as linked Topic” feature is missing. Of course this would mean the private message will get public due to the linking. So the linking have to appear for the concerned people only or there should be a simmilar feature like “Reply with linked Message”.

However I am interested in the differences at all which I perhaps didnt noticed.
