Hey Commentards! This pre-populated 'reply to' is for you
We took our time to remove this niggle, but you should like this little update: If you click the "reply" button on a comment containing a headline your "Title field" is now pre-populated with "Re: (same headline)" You can if you like change this to insert your own headline or - if you are perverse, depopulate the field entirely …

Was that strictly necessary. You could have kicked off with a "Title".
I STILL NEED TO USE.....
CAPS, otherwise downvoters won't recognise me.
Re: I STILL NEED TO USE.....
Now there's a man who knows what he wants. Fair play to you, sir.
This title not left blank.
I really must try this commenting lark.
Re: This title not left blank.
That's the way to do it.
Re: Re: This title not left blank.
Nice - how about comment edits so we fix typos?
Re: Re: Re: This title not left blank.
'CAN' - that should be 'can fix typos'.
This title has been intentionally left blank
+1 for the ability to edit posts
Re: Re: Re: Re: Really.
Lol! Yeah, I sometimes resort to withdrawing and reposting.
Re: Re: Re: Re: This title not left blank.
I wonder how many 'Re:'s we can get this up to :)
Re: Re: Re: Re: This title not left blank.
I can see these RE:'s growing out of control
Re: Re: This title not left blank.
And here's the proof that software quality assurance is often left disregarded: It works, therefore it's good...
"Re: Re: ..." Subject lines were banned from mail clients like a decade ago?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: This title not left blank.
<Count> five! ha ha ha ha </Count>
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: This title not left blank.
PaychoHippy that is a very good game. Like Trivial Pursuits. I think people may soon tire of it. Like Trivial....
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: This title not left blank.
Perverse? From Reg readers? Perish the thought!
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: tarded.
About time. I hate sites that roll their own "forums" and then never add features that people have time enough to take for granted. The Reg and Slashdot are both culprits here, with different things.
Hey, reg, is there an easy way to get to the "view my posts" page without having to find an article with comments, view the comments, login, view my posts?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: tarded.
Lol, yes, I only see my comments after posting something, 'cos the site never keeps me logged in, nor saves my password, or makes it easy to find them otherwise.
I don't like "re:". This isn't email, use some graphical way to demonstrate replied-ness!
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: tarded.
This is fun.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: flex
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
Aw: Aw: Aw: Aw: Aw. having nested threads stinks too
El-Reg now with even more fields to pervert with text?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
I just wanted to find the size limit on the Title field :)
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: tarded.
So today: You can see Forums on the secondary navigation bar of the front page.
Log-in via there - and your Forums user control panel should pop up on the right hand side.

gently across the moat, meh,meh, meh, meh, meh,meh, meh, meh, merrilly merrily, hope it stays afloat!!
Can I get a Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Rewind?
Bo selecta!
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: inventing the wheel
I came here to moan that 'Re x:' would be a waste of time - if it worked like every mail client on the planet, then, after one reply, nobody would know who you were replying to, and we'd be back to doing '@user'.
But, you've proved so much smarter than I imagined. Kudos. (Although the coding can still be ambiguous.)
One tiny suggestion: can we upgrade from unary numerals to Roman numerals, so that the generated titles go:
Re<sup>i</sup>:
Re<sup>ii</sup>:
Re<sup>iii</sup>:
Re<sup>iv</sup>:
etc...
Paris, because we've not got bored of her yet, and I expect 'Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:...' to be equally long lived; toddlers never get bored.

"Hey, reg, is there an easy way to get to the "view my posts" page without having to find an article with comments, view the comments, login, view my posts?"
You can use the "Forums" link at the top of each page. That cuts out part of the process.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me

Excellent

You broke the Page!
"if you are perverse, depopulate the field entirely ." -- We are and I'm sure we will.
Next niggle:
How long until we can have some kind "replies" counter, so that from "My Posts" we can see if someone has replied to a comment?
I'd prefer that to getting an email about it, and the whole "you have unread replies" concept is probably too much for El Reg-style discussions.
Re: Next niggle:
Not quite a replies counter but... in your Forums user control panel ( on the right hand side of the page when you are signed in) you should see My forums. This tells you how many posts have been made by others since you last posted.
Re: Re: Next niggle:
@Drewc
Yes, it tells you if someone else has posted in a forum, but when the comments start stretching to two or three pages that really isn't much help.
c'mon, it was going to go that way sooner or later... surely?
Re: Apples are shit
I prefer armadillos! Smooth on the inside, crunchy on the outside.
Re: Re: Apples are shit
Yeah, but the armadillo GUI sucks
Re: Re: Apples are shit
i would not have expected less from an armadildoid!
