Replying?

What is the reasoning behind no longer being able to reply to a specific comment, and then being notified that someone replied to your comment and being able to go to that comment to reply back and what-not?

~ Stacona

EDIT - apparently my thing changed on its own to no longer show replies, all fixed now

Check under where it says "DISCUSS" You should see blue lettering that reads "Switch to Discussion View"

If you click that, you will get the REPLY button back. REPLY does not exist in CHRONOLOGICAL View, you have to just quote the person you're "replying" to.

If you follow a link that has

?show=flat

on the end, it'll change your view to chronological. For example, if I click the "show as chronological" button on this thread, it's the same as clicking this link:

http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/site-feedback/EnzcUHW0-replying?show=flat

So, if somebody who just switched to chronological view (and therefore still has the "show=flat" in their link) sends you a link to that thread and you follow it, it changes your view. That's most likely what happened.

I had wondered cuz the same thing happened to me as happened to Stacona. That's how I learned about the discussion/chrono view.

On the right side in the same place, you can also choose how you sort comments (if you're in discussion view).

I find that sorting by new is way better for conversations you're taking part in, while best is much better for convos you're skimming or just want summaries of / major points.

I hadn't seen that. Thank you, that is nifty.

You can still reply to comments individually. That never changed, to the best of my knowledge.
