Might as well see what happens.

My thought was that this you might end up with multiple side conversations going on in a thread. On the other hand, it might keep threads from being derailed if people use the comments for the off topic stuff.

Possibly. Thinking I should turn it back off, or just leave it on for a bit and see what happens?

Kung Wu, if someone comments on a post I assume many may never see it unlike an "unread post" which would include posts that quoted another post?

Yes, that makes sense. I guess comments are for just quick-hitter thoughts, while quoting would be for "continuing the discussion".

This is a neat feature, but doesn't it have the the potential to make of mess of certain threads?

[Kung Wu]

No wonder people haven't been using it. Thanks for pointing it out!

It wasn't there before, but I see it now! (I'm on desktop)

[Kung Wu]

See if it appears now?

[Kung Wu]

Ability to comment appears to be turned on in the AdminCP, so I think you should see it. Are you on mobile or on desktop?

Nevermind, it was turned off at the usergroup level. You should see it now!

Kung Wu , I do not see a comment button on anyone's post, only a quote button. Perhaps it's only available to mods and admin?

Pro tip: If you want to see the Thanks and Like buttons and counts, flip your phone sideways. Also, if you click/touch the count, you can see who Thanked or Liked.

Under your post, I can either Quote or Comment. I just chose Comment. I don't know if you can Comment on your own post though? Do you see the Comment option on anybody else's post?

[ShockerPhi]

The area under our username on each post looks way cleaner. I like it a lot.

Also, how did you "comment" on wichshock65's post?

Hmmmmmm.......so you're saying it is possible.
