It just adds on to the discussion without showing as a reply.
What am I doing wrong??

If you highlight text in the message you want to reply to you can reply incorporating the quoted text btw
There may need to be a gap between the reply and the source message btw
Edit : nope
I can add a quote to a reply but the actual reply never seems to show as a reply
Oh ok it works now, seems a bit random…
No I’ve lost it again lol
I agree that it doesn’t seem to display well, but I believe that the forum software does retain the relationship somehow.
my hunch is that it’s a time thing, not (only) a thread spatial thing, it scans nicer if it’s not full of arrows … i bet the algorithm factors in who’s in the conversation and when the replies are fired off
Thanks guys, it’s not really a big problem but I thought it was worth mentioning 
If the replied post is directly above your reply, I don’t think the reply icon shows up. Could that be it?
(Case in point: this reply)
It shows here, I just used it now. Not sure if it will work or not…
Quoting seems to work but just replying seems a bit hit and miss.
Yeah, quoting is fine - but replying shows up as an icon if the replied-to-post is not directly above the reply. (I think??)
EDIT: Yeah, there’s the icon!

A test reply to OP two posts up (which didn’t produce the icon when I tried it earlier in the thread fwiw)
edit - there’s no doubt it should show the icon when an intervening post from a.n.other appears
I’m seeing a reply button at the bottom right of every message, i’ll use one now…

Ok, the message box I am typing into shows that I’m replying to avantronica. The actual reply button is bottom left.
Testing…
Hmm it worked that time, not sure what I’m doing wrong as I follow the same steps each time.
Never mind, it’s not a big issue
That’s the “reply to an individual post” button! (Which I am using now. )
