Hello everyone,

I’m using the Airport CEO Forum, which is running on Discourse. I think that it’s great, but I’m experiencing a little bug lately. Sometimes when I reply to someone’s post, it doesn’t show up as a reply to that post/person, but just as a normal post/reply. There is however a little arrow with the username that shows that I’m replying to a user in the editor while typing..

I still couldn’t figure out what’s the cause of this or how I can reproduce this..

Little update on this: the reply does however shows up as a reply on the post to which I’m replying (when I click on the little arrow that says for example ‘2 Replies [Arrow Down]’). So actually only the arrow and the username of the person to who I’m replying to in the upper right corner of my post is missing..

If the _reply_ is the **_very next post_** , there is no UI element to show that in Discourse. But the poster being replied to will see a “reply” notification.
