Suggestion. Could we move REPLY button to the left hand side and make it bigger than the other buttons. Or even place it over the other buttons (probably better but some A/B testing would help). This is the most important action we want to encourage (and little nudges make all the difference).

You can move reply button to left by changing `post menu` settings in admin side `/admin/site_settings/category/basic`.

I don’t think it is better. It easy to me for right hand side. I like current position. Let’s check what others say

And if you want Reply button bigger then you can do using simple css

```
.widget-button.reply {
    font-size: 18px;
    font-weight: bold;
}

```

And add your css customization in admin side `/admin/customize/css_html`

@BernardLunn I updated my above answer to move reply button

I think it’s not available anymore. The recommended way now is to add theme components.

Here is my theme component for this. It allows to specify font size and weight.
