“回复帖子”并不总是能链接帖子

[bartv (Bart)]

我不确定这是否是一个错误还是预期行为，但我们的用户对此感到困惑：在“回复帖子”功能（即帖子内的灰色回复按钮）中存在不一致：在以下两种情况下，回复不会“链接”到帖子：

1. 回复原始帖子时
2. 回复最新帖子时

在第二种情况下，我理解其中的道理，因为帖子在物理上是相邻的（尽管我仍然更倾向于一致性）。但在第一种情况下，很难看出是回复了哪条帖子。

Yeah, this is intended behaviour.

@bartv

In the second case I can see the point as the posts are physically next to each other

yep, that’s why.

@bartv

In the first case it’s hard to see which post was replied to.

The logic here is a little quirky. If there’s no reply-to-indicator, then it’s either a reply to the post immediately above it, or it’s a reply to the OP.

Thanks Erlend!

The problem with this is that this is impossible to ‘discover’ for users. I think it would be more consistent and easier to understand if the link was displayed everywhere.

Yeah, it’s a tricky choice between repetitiveness (what many would consider unnecessary visual noise) and imperfect information.

Lucky for you there’s a setting for this already, which I only just remembered (promise I wasn’t holding back on you)

I believe suppress reply directly below is what you’re after. Search suppress reply to see all related settings.

Aw sheesh, you guys think of EVERYTHING!

Thanks Erlend!
