Remarks
Each discussion board has a special threading field that consists of a concatenation of timestamps. The threading value of a discussion item is the threading value of its parent followed by the ThreadStamp value corresponding to the current local time.
Example
In this example CAML is used to render a hidden INPUT element in an HTML form. The value of this element is the first 504 characters of the concatenation of the Threading variable (if present, else the empty string) followed by the value rendered by the ThreadStamp element, which represents the current time.
