fyi, your email address is just hanging out there for all to see. I logged off, still perfectly legible.

I’m always concerned about too many cooks in the kitchen, @LockeCJ - but if you need an extra hand on the system side, just holler. We probably want to have a few trusted folks with privileged access to the underlying system in case you go on walkabout for a few months or just get burned out.

I’m just thinking @LockeCJ said early on (I can’t remember if here or the other place) he didn’t want to be on the hook for any of this opportunity/problem beyond getting something set up quickly.

@LockeCJ, I don’t know if that’s changed, but I hope you’re not getting roped into anything …

The BBS currently isn’t showing who replies are directed toward. Is there an easy fix for this?

Can confirm this occurs on both themes, on desktop and mobile.

I’ve seen it show the reply target, but only occasionally. Not entirely sure on the logic…

[edit] ok, it looks like it may only show the reply target if your reply isn’t directly after the post you’re replying to?

test. (I think @Nonentity is correct.) The behavior was the same on “the old” BBS.

Any way we could get that functionality working?

I’m not sure if it’s hardcoded into Discourse but once you have enough people in a thread, it gets difficult to see who is replying to whom.

It is working. See above.

Only for replies to a first level reply. Reply nesting is not functioning as it should.

“Working” to a given value but the fact I am replying to you isn’t immediately obvious, unless I @ you in.

I didn’t see the nesting case yet. Good to know.

@tinoesroho jumped in there but my point still stands.

Perhaps it would have been a clearer point if you had made that a nested reply.

I am replying to you right now; unless no one else posts before I hit “reply”, no “replied to” icon will appear above this post. When you have 100+ people all replying to each other on a long thread, it’s nice to see who is replying to whom.

Right. But that behavior is standard for discourse, from what I’ve seen. The nested issue @tinoesroho described sounds different.

I’m sure it’s a Discourse thing but it’s still kind of confusing.

ETA: I’m just griping now but it would be nice if every reply showed who was replying to whom.

I could be wrong, but I feel like it’s a recent change too. I thought it previously only didn’t show the reply target when you just replied to the thread itself.

Yeh, me too. This has only just started to confuse me now. Either I’m experiencing early onset just after my 34th birthday or this actually isn’t how it used to be.

ARE YOU MY GRANDSON??

It wouldn’t surprise me. Discourse seems to roll out such changes without much fanfare.
