1st time here. How do I comment on a post?

Why isn’t it clear ??

A post?

Just hit the reply button (the arrow).

Thanksss…it’s looks like you saud too " Reply "..I even thought it’s "Share "

  • THAT’S ME ..2st time here and immediately complaining…:waving_hand::ok_hand:

May I ask if you are trying to post a translation from another language?

Are you asking me ?

Yes, I am.

Hi, curious why your mind went to “translation”? I just “commented,” which here (my first time) looks like “Reply” or “Share.”

A general observation: On many social network sites there is a hierarchy of „post" and „comment":

post

That is not the case in a classical messsage board like the Straight Dope Message Board.

Here it is

with a new post not conspiciously replying to a specific prior post, unless you quote part of a previous post that your post refers to.

I’m not sure how a curved-back arrow with the word “Reply” next to it would look like “share”. A “share” icon usually looks like a water molecule, with three circles connected by two lines.

@ilansho looks like you’re posting.

Carry on.

Word of warning: clean up your sentence structure and spelling.

A whole, complete sentence is easier to parse. Jus’ sayin’

Otherwise…welcome.

If you’re only looking at the icon though (especially on a small screen), then yes, the reply icon can just look like a flipped share icon as used on a number of sites, including youtube. Again, there it has “share” in text next to the icon.

You’re right that on some sites and apps, it used to or may still look like a variant of this:

But now it looks more like this (depending on app / browser / settings / etc. )

"Warning "?

People around here can get very picky about sloppy spelling and punctuation. This isn’t Reddit.

People who get picky about spelling and grammar can also be paid little attention.

English is my third language. I wouldn’t mind being corrected but not bully replies Reddit/X style with " Worning"?

I just had another reply with " comment " button .But I came upload the screenshot, its only 500 K but the UI says it’s..5 Mega

Someone asked me if I upload " Translation " ..[??]

It looks like users are picking fights not helping or correcting

Thanks for helping

You are right. Under your comment was " comment "

Thanks again because I got some angry replies..

I just asked a question which proved there are posts with actual " comment " button.
One comment even worned me.

I reported both. Englishisn’t my 1st language but I don’t like getting 12 replies with no grammar correction..

Ill push back . Np

And Thanks offcourse :waving_hand:

User Parallelines have actually " comment " button.

Check their comment

If you select a part of a post and hit the “Quote” button that appears then (there is also a “Copy quote” button, and links to an evil site, Xitter) it looks like this here. This allows you, or me in this case, to comment specific parts of a post or ask a direct question, like:
What are the other two languages?
For the sake of disclosure: mine are German and Spanish.
And as I am at it: What happy chance brought you here?

Oh, yes: and welcome! May you last long and prosper!
