Confusion entering replies to comments on profile pages

+24 votes

It happens quite frequently that replies to comments on profile pages go unnoticed because the profile manager uses the button for POST NEW COMMENT instead of the little reply link.

Adding to the confusion is the fact that when you do use the reply link, the text above the reply box says Enter your new comment.

This seems to me a slight oversight that could easily be changed.

I also notice that a lot of newer members are using the "Move to G2G" option....with no explanation.

So are you asking for the text to be changed to something like "Enter your new reply", or something more?

"Enter your reply" would be fine.

The background is that I was going to make a reply, explaining to someone who had used new comment why I had almost missed what they wanted an answer to. I started writing a reply - but because the text said "Enter your new comment" I had to cancel and check back a couple of times before I was convinced I was really in the right place.
