  • Oddity for Muz re: replying to posts

    Muz,

    I was about to reply to V8 Druids ongoing saga when it dawned on me that there is only a 'reply with quote' hot button down at the end of a thread, and no 'reply' . The only 'reply' button is way up at the top of the first post on the page and not easily discover-able if there are many posts on a page.

    Any chance of a 'reply' button next to 'reply with quote' ?

    Now VERY oddly this thread HAS a blue button for 'reply' at the bottom left but V8Druid's thread hasn't ??????

      No Graham, this thread has the button at the top AND the bottom. Your much longer thread DOES'NT have the bottom button.

            Its there alright .. but for some reason its hidden behind all the page numbers on the left if you look closely, I presume its something to do with Chrome and your older operating system ?

              Its most likely an HTML issue for your O/S once a thread runs into a second line of page numbers. There would be a separator that keeps the button differentiated from the page number count, but in your case, its overlayed it ? ... something like that.. but I'm no coder so would need to ask the question

                    I doubt it .. it will be hard coded into the forum software... 'however' ... if those that have the problem, can tell me their browser, and their o/s .. there may be a fix ? I dont know? .. certainly with windows 10 and firefox/chrome etc, it all displays perfectly.

                            Not sure what you mean Ian. I always click the 'view latest' and it ends up at the bottom of the page. Can't see any option to reverse the order

                              OK here's my two/penneth.
                              Andrew is sort of right, the page 47 of 47 does cover over the reply button, I am on Firefox, but it is still just about doable as Graham said.
                              However I just tried it on IE and there is no sign at all of the reply button under the 47 of 47.
                              Sorry if this just add's to the confusion.
