Hi there. We have a Topic called “Introduce Yourself” where new users share a bit about themselves and what they hope to gain from our forum. Users are meant to introduce themselves using the blue “Reply” button, as in reply-to-the-topic. However, they sometimes just click the first reply button …

[이미지] CapedCrusader: What are some ways I can adjust our settings to make this clearer? You could rename the grey “Reply” button as “Reply to user” and the blue one as “Reply to thread”. Unfortunately, this is not directly possible in the admin backend, so you’d need a CSS hack with text:afte…

In addition to this, it is a bit hacky, but you CAN target a specific topic in your CSS if need be.

Just wondering if perhaps Discourse has split the js.topic.reply.title so we can easily rename the two Reply buttons to Reply to User and Reply to Topic? If so, can we get detailed instructions on how to make this change (for a non css knowledgable admin)? Thanks

Unlikely to happen, for the record. That’s why the topic is closed.

Is it difficult to do, or is there another reason?
