I saw some similar posts but I think this is unique. On the “maslow cnc forums”, I have been having this issue for quite some time. Here is the link to my documentation on what seems like an issue. I have tried using different browsers on laptop and iPhone. Can anyone offer any insight on this?

Thanks!

If there is
- a single reply
and
- it is directly underneath the post it is replying to
… then metadata is suppressed in the interests of keeping the overall noise down, as it is generally clear from the existing verbal context that this is a reply.
Site owners can change this behavior in their site settings. Search for the word “suppress”.

Thanks! That looks to be the case in the screen shots I posted on the maslowcnc forums.

Good to know. Thanks very much!

Is there also a condition that requires posts from other users to be…in between..for lack of a better word? In my post#5 above I selected the text and pressed the “quote” button, which showed a reply to “codinghorror” but then it disappears after posting.
Thanks!

The explicit quote itself tells you it was a reply, so why would other indicators be needed?

The typical reply indicator (screenshot below) is a link to the specific post being replied to; very helpful. But yeah, as it works now makes sense…I just didn’t put it together. Thanks.

Ask yourself whether you need a link to get all the way to the post directly _above_. If so, and the administrators of maslowcnc agree then they can turn it on. For most it’s unnecessary visual noise.
