I would like a reply to the "Reply" issue

[DappledThings]

Just thought I'd start another thread to get more attention on this again as there has been no answer as to whether it is even being looked at.

A few comments on MNHQ's recent thread about the new feature pointing out nobody asked for that but a lot of us have asked you to fix this.

To summarise: The button marked Reply does not do what it says. It adds a post, it does not do a reply. MN has no reply feature but, bizarrely, chooses to have a button that pretends it does. This leads to threads full of "replies" that have no context and are impossible to follow. Plus posts saying "sorry, not sure why my reply didn't work, I clicked reply"

Thanks for doing that, so much better.

Is there any way that I can Watch and Pin a thread in one step?

At the moment, the only way I seem to be able to do it is to Watch the thread and then I have to go in to I'm Watching and find the thread to pin it.

Thanks

It's been a tortuous journey (made worse by the fact it as a change that wasn't thought through properly to start with when the 'reply' button was conceived), but at least now it's been sorted out. Phew. Next time hopefully @LilyMumsnet and MNHQ will think things through more thoroughly before they make any other changes!

Thank you! That's much better :) much appreciated!

I seem to have lost Quote and Edit, MN (I'm on laptop). Am I looking in the wrong place, or what?

Update, I do have edit. Just not quote.

It should look like this @MrsDanversGlidesAgain

Just checking to see if I've got edit.

Yep!

Checking my wdit
oops edit - that wasn’t even deliberate!

Do you know what?
I can't work out why it took them so long to swap the buttons around.
