On desktop below a topic there is the reply button with text which is super simple to use and user friendly for newbies, however on mobile it is just a box with icon. Is there anyway to add the “reply” text back. I tried inspecting but i assume that tool doesnt render a propper mobile version as the text is there. [efbd5916-f275-422a-a2e0-17e74c2f5830]

You can target that element on mobile using: html:not(.anon) #topic-footer-buttons .topic-footer-main-buttons .d-button-label { display: block; } In my quick test, I also needed to override the margin of the icon: html:not(.anon) #topic-footer-buttons .topic-footer-main-buttons .d-icon { margin-right: 0.45em; }

Thanks @pmusaraj but for future reference how did you get to be able to inspect the mobile version? When i do it and choose an iphone for instance it shows me the desktop site but minimized.

I inspected Safari from my physical phone, plugged to the Mac. You can also append mobile_view=1 in Chrome to force the app to load the mobile version. Or refresh the page while emulating a phone, it should switch to the mobile view.
