The 'reply' option - what does it do/what is it for?

ColumboTheBestDetective · 19/12/2023 19:48

Ok, my first ever thread on MN, but... am I the only person who doesn't actually understand what on earth the point of the 'reply' option is on a thread? I see threads where it's really hard to work out who the OP is replying to, and many more with pp saying, 'Oh, I thought I was replying to... , but I've only just realised I'm not!'. All these seem to be genuine misunderstandings on the part of the OP/pp

So what is the 'reply' option for? @MNHQ? And how does it actually work? Because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only confused mn poster right now!

(And I'm not even sure that @MNHQ even works? Can someone clarify if so/if not? And if not, who should I be tagging to get this query seen?!)

Hi there @ColumboTheBestDetective. It is very much not just you, don't worry!

There have been several threads about it in Site Stuff and we're very much aware that it's not really very useful as it is. We're right now in the process of running some tests to work out how all the navigation buttons would work best, and a change to the Reply button will be part of that, so it should be sorted soon.

Hi there @ColumboTheBestDetective. We do appreciate that this is taking longer than we would all like. There's been no further response from us on the other thread simply because there has been no more news since our last update. We are hopeful we'll have some news about the issue soon though and we will update on the thread as soon as that happens. Thanks for your patience. Flowers
