ability to reply directly to posts

There was an error rendering this rich post.

is it just me?

the old forum had a reply option, but the new forum just has a new comment form.

Shouldn't I be able to direct a comment specifically to reply to something someone said instead of just posting a comment?

I have seen some comments that seemed to be directed like that. they use an @ tag. Is that some secret that you have to pick up? That should be right there with those other options below the post.

thank you

@name is a common internet feature that some found supported in the forum software so others of us followed suit. If you enter @ and start typing a person's forum name, a drop-down list of names and avatars will appear. The other way to specify that your comment is a replay is to use the quote function.

@M J Smith

so is this where I put it?

I would think it would be outside of the comment area

It can be anywhere in your post … but you need to select it from the dropdown menu for the system to recognize it as a reference to a person. i.e. @Larry Craig

Larry Craig

your name wasn't in the dropdown @MJ. Smith

The old forum had a reply option.

I think they need it again

your name wasn't in the dropdown @MJ. Smith

That's strange - I see it

Larry Craig

good. I'm happy for you

now it showed up

call me crazy, but it wasn't there before

@Graham Criddle

anyway, the bigger point is that there used to be the option to reply to somebody

people shouldn't have to learn about this through posting a lot and asking how to do it

Have you seen the guide that is linked to at the top of the English forum?

yes, I read it now.

The point is that the old forum had a reply option. this just has a post option.

The old forum didn't require reading a manual on how things worked. This one does.

If I want to include somebody in the discussion, the @ thing is useful. For ordinary replies, it shouldn't be necessary.

oh, almost forgot @Graham Criddle

In this forum you would use the quote button. It also gives context to your reply and the forum treats it like a mention with the @ but without the hassle.

@Larry Craig I'm trying out the sub-quote:

A bit chunky design, seems.

For ordinary replies, it shouldn't be necessary

Allow us to override Logos bias by attaching n - using the creation stories of Genesis as an example
Because of its reference to image, I prefer to use the Genesis 1 reference for the creation of mankind rather than Genesis 2. This is especially important to me in the current political environment as Genesis 1 has an androgynous Adam rather than a male Adam. However, Logos not only makes Genesis 2 the primary text, it…
