replying to an answer is blocked by the disabled reply button and internally as my reply with the quote was block on upload but I should have never got there as replies are blocked.
quoting should result in a new answer (hopefully with a hint for the user that this is a new answer and not a reply).
adding an answer with a quote like [quote="Kovoschiz, post:4, topic:108584"] is currently added as a reply but instead it should be an answer.
it would be still appreciated if the quoted answer has some link to the answer which includes the quote.
A bit off-topic: The current commenting system does not work with only a single level as replies to comments are almost impossible and do not end up directly below the original comment nor is it possible to quote comments.
Overall this mix of systems, atm, is quite confusing and annoying as there is no strict separation between the two systems and last but not least a lack of documentation and help for the ânormalâ user. I would expect a button for instructions on how to use the two different systems and a better system message explaining why an action is denied instead of An error occurred: You are not allowed to create a post in reply to another post.
It seems to, yes - Iâve tried to find those in the (long) âunreadâ list, and canât see them currently.
Edit: Er, not quite. It works for threads with other answers other than âcloseâ, but not for this one which was closed without any answers. Thereâs no option to switch the answer display order if there are no answers.
