Replying to topics

Press any Reply ()button to open the editor panel at the bottom of your browser. You can continue reading (and even search or navigate to different topics) while you compose your reply.

Discourse shows all posts in the order they are published. It does not make you chase down multiple threaded paths. However, it still gives you lots of ways to follow the context of conversations.

To reply to a specific post in a topic, clicking the grey Reply button at the end of each post and your reply is linked to that post.

1. If your reply is the next one published after the post you are replying to, this will appear next in chronological order
2. If yours is NOT next, then two things happen after your post is published: 
   • Your post will include a new link in its header with an image to show what this is ‘in reply to’ - clicking this link displays that previous post for context next to your reply
   • The original post includes a count of replies at the bottom - clicking this link displays the content of the replies
