I’m puzzled.
If we can’t reply directly to someone who has made a comment now, and I know that that’s the case, then what’s the purpose of the REPLY link that is to the right of every post that people make now?
If you look on the top right of a given post, it will say something like REPLY #1111. If you click on REPLY, your comment ends up at the bottom of the page.
Is it intended just to make it faster to get there?
