For some reason, I can no longer reply to individual comments on forum threads. This holds true for both my Discourse app on my iPhone and Chrome on my laptop.

What does it do when you press the reply arrow?

I’ll try it now! So it always brings me to the text box and says I’m replying to you. Let’s see if it actually works.

Just as I thought. It just posts as a regular reply to the OP’s post.

Interesting! I guess the problem is that it doesn’t show that I did for some reason.

You don’t see that you replied to them but everyone else sees it. In other words, everything is working like it is supposed to be.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. I don’t know why I never realized that. Thank you!

Side note: It would be nice if we could see that!! Just my opinion.

Replies that are **directly under the post they are replying to** suppress the reply metadata by default, otherwise it gets incredibly noisy visually.
