I went through the list of posts for a topic. I lost the context until I go through each replies dropdown. Please see the below screenshot.

In the above conversation, @codinghorror has actually replied to riking. I actually cannot say immediately whom he has replied until I go through each reply dropdown for above posts.

My request here - can we add @mention automatically when we hit reply on a post. This help others to understand the context easily without going through individual replies. This is important especially in mobiles.

**Edit1** : I understand there is an img at the far right about who the reply points to. But it didnt help. May be shifting that to the far left helps.
