New Feature: Reply to Comments
You can now reply directly to comments, by clicking on the reply links underneath each weblog comment. This will generate a special link that
a) links directly to the comment you are replying to,
b) sends the commenter an e-mail alert (which can be turned off btw) and
c) updates the commenters feed (only available to people who use the new home main).Give it a try – you can even reply to a bunch of comments at once.
Comments (26)
Go ahead and try: The holy Roman empire was neither holy, nor Roman. Discuss amongst yourselves.
@joseph - rhode island is neither a road nor an island. discuss.

@Natalia -
Me too!!!
@Natalia - ^_^
@seedsower - hurray!
@seedsower -
@joseph -
YOU ARE BOTH THE FASTEST COMMENTERS EVER!
(p.s. does this leave a notification in both inboxes?)
@Natalia - oh heck yeah it does. ^_^
@joseph - remind me to give you a high five tomorrow for this
@Natalia - I think we may need to add some sort of automatic refresh to this. I dunno how hard that would be though.
It is easy to be a fast commenter with the new Private page!!
nice job, joseph… xanga has needed something like this for a long time!
@sean - thanks!
@joseph - yo mama.
@seedsower - i like yo style
@joseph -
But toga’s make my legs look great. Go Rome!
If there was a mini called “massive hero points” or “Hero For The Day!”, you’d get it for this reply feature!
@john - don’t be talkin’ about my momma….she has issues.
@Natalia - I think Natalia is great.
@joseph - I have a question. Is there a way that the whole comment can be seen with a reply link on/in the Universal Inbox? I only ask because it’s like I get an email and then I’ve go log in and go to the person’s site and reply.
@SeoulSpirit8 - we’re working on a variation of this (for e-mails only first) right now. ^_^ Hopefully it will roll out tonight.
Ok I am totally xanga challenged…pc challenged actually :ssboohoo: so I have a question..* I tried the reply…and it posted under my last comment..then I went to the site..and it was not there…help..any suggestions..? thank you…Lee
@priorities - hey – do you have a link to the page where this happened?
@joseph - ouch…everytime I go to a page it had to ‘refresh’ itself before it opens..weird..it is right on my comment page..I replied, and there it was..it shows the reply sign, it shouldn’t be there, right? It should be sent to her…I am confused…ha…hmm..I’ll have to copy my comments page and you’ll see it..it is to REDPOPPY….I’ll come back with it…thanks Joseph…take care..Lee :sssmile:
wow..there is this one..well, this one worked
:sssmile:I’l message the page.*
@joseph - testing testing testing
This reply stuff is awesome. It would be cool if you guys set up a search engine for each blog. As in “search for posts in this blog with the words_________” http://scienceblogs.com has a very sweet search engine for each blog that makes it very easy to search for posts with specific words that you remember from the post.
remind me to give you a high five tomorrow for this thanx for you
