- rseacord 6y agoNothing to it! Just hit the reply button on comments you want to respond to. You can also upvote anything you like by clicking on the up arrow to the left of the comment.
- DougGwyn 6y agoOkay, is there a starting thread for today's C Experts panel? I miss the old net newsgroups.
- dang 6y agoThe thread is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22865357 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22865357, which is the page you've been posting to. It's now listed on the front page of the forum, https://news.ycombinator.com/ https://news.ycombinator.com/, which is a list of the stories people have upvoted today. You're not the only person who misses the old newsgroups! The format that Hacker News uses is one that became sort of standard on the web in the early 2000s. It works differently than usenet did, but you get threaded comments in the sense that replies are nested under the posts they're replying to.
- pascal_cuoq 6y agoThere are very little formatting options when writing posts, for better or for worse: https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc
