Even with the current restrictions people still use it quite extensively as a "I disagree" button.
- mintplant 14y agoInteresting. The "reply" link is hidden for some comments - but not others - such as this one, yet I am able to bypass it by modifying the "reply" URL. Is this something new, or simply something I hadn't noticed before?
- UnoriginalGuy 14y agoJust click "link" above the post and the reply box appears.
- mintplant 14y agoRight. Hm. I wonder why it does that.
- UnoriginalGuy 14y agoSave space. If it had to have a "reply" button after every reply in a large comment block it would not be able to fit very many comments on the page. They really should scrap the reply link entirely and move it next to the "flag" button e.g. | reply
- mintplant 14y agoMm, can't be that. If you highlight the area under the comment, there's a row of dashes ("-----") where the "reply" button should be. It takes up the same amount of space.
