Iām doing another test hereā¦Iām replying to this using the gray reply button at the end of your post. If I understand correctly, your post should indicate 1 reply , and my reply should appear indented under your post when one clicks on the indication that there is a reply. Or at least it should look something like that. I donāt think that happens, and I wonder if this is causing some of the impressions that people are not replying to individual posts. Of course, I could quote your post, but I thought that gray reply button made that unnecessary.
As I said above, this could be user error (the user being me!). If thatās the case, perhaps someone could point us to a topic describing how to best interact with the platform.
EDIT ā¦and of course, this time everything worked as expected! Sorry for the false alarm, but I would have SWORN this doesnāt always work! Again, probably my error somehow. FWIW, Iām currently using Firefox on a Macbook.
You are right. Sometimes it works, sometimes not (direct response, grey Reply arrow). I often have to revisit and edit my own post, because it doesnāt refer to the person itās adressed to.
This is a reply to Tomās post (where he quotes @judi ).
I pressed the small grey arrow at the bottom of Tomās post and I see his username above the text box as I type this. Letās see if things are working or not.
I too have the problem when I reply to specific post, it doesnāt appear that way in the thread, so this is a test.
EDIT: So, the test failed for sure. FWIW, Iām using chrome on a mac.
My gut feeling on this when we first started on the new Community was that if you used the grey arrow to reply to someone but it was in the following/next post to their comment, the āuser icon arrow replyā (made up tech reference ) did not show. If there had been subsequent post or posts in between it would. As I say gut feeling from the early days and Iāve not tested it, as it personally does not causes me any issues. But I do appreciate others frustration.
Gordon @sairfingers ā¦ break off your holiday ā¦ come and do your replies, is this now solved for you too? (or was that it already and are we a bit slow and/or forgetful)
Greetings and have way more fun on your holiday
