About Replying to Comments

embryowassup's picture

This isn't your crappy .php forum; this is a blogging website.

Much like livejournal, blogspot, or greatestjournal (all rights reserved to their respective companies), ProgressiveU also has a reply feature. If you haven't noticed it, it's at the bottom of each comment. Click on it, and you will find yourself redirected to a page that displays the original comment and a comment box for you to reply.

Sure, you won't notice that much of a difference if you don't use it, but when comments pile up, it's really nice to be able to tell who is responding to whom.

So please, for the sake of good blogging and my sanity, use the reply feature.

YEAH! I thought I was the only one going insane trying to figure it out.

I know there have been times when, for lack of using the reply button, I have thought people were replying to me when they were actually trying to reply to someone else.

"for the sake of good blogging and my sanity"

Mike, who knew? You're a blogger at Progressive U, and now you might need psychiatric help :)

You thought that was bad, I've actually yelled at people because I thought they were replying to me, then I felt like a jerk afterwards when they said they weren't. :)

Yes, as another note, DON'T use the reply button if you do not want to respond to THAT comment. If you want to respond to a different comment, go to THAT reply button, and if you want to respond to the blog in general, go further down, there is a box for you to type your response there.

Are you trying to tell me something? lol

I'm notorious for ignoring the reply button...but mostly its because I'm really, really lazy.

I don't often use the reply button because I might address multiple people...or the author of the blog. Or maybe I'll ramble about what I had for dinner last night. No, just kidding, I don't do that.

It was Chinese, by the way.

I think the number of people who rated this post less than five is probably in ratio to the number of people who find the concept of using the reply button baffling.

'Why ya have ta get so clever on us', they'll say as they shortchange this posting in the ratings, out of sheer spit no doubt.
