Hi Kris, thanks for taking the time! When those posts pop up, they get the feeling as if it’s telling them off, or rather, that I’m telling them off, that i’ve put those settings to say that.

I think (my!) people don’t actually understand the difference between the grey (reply to post) and the blue (reply to topic) button.

[image] Dani1: ‘Consider replying to several posts at once’ has absolutely no meaning to them: there are two reply buttons and frankly, i’m happy with whichever one they hit. That message has nothing to do with which reply button they use. It’s a gentle reminder to ask them to do one post wit…

[image] zogstrip: That message has nothing to do with which reply button they use I was rather under the impression it only shows up when you hit the grey button. but… i can’t verify that even to satisfy my own curiosity, because i’ve now disabled it, :slight_smile: [image] zogstrip: It…
