Improvement in Comments Section

At present, we have two options to comment on a post.

1. Add a new comment.

2. Reply to an existing comment.

 

We need to tag a person whom we are replying to, so that they are notified about the same. That person if opted for notify with new comments, then he/she will get two notifications. one for new comment and one for mention. Though both are related to same.

 

Instead what I suggest is,

1. If we opt for reply, then the reply should quote the message I am replying to and the person to whom i replied will be notified accordingly. Even if I am subscribed to the post, I should technically get only one notification. That logic should be included.

2. If I have to tag an extra person into the reply I will use the so called @ option.

3. If i do not want to tag anyone and make a random comment, there's always the option for add a comment.

 

The quote option helps in tracking the conversation in a better way.

I’m sure a lot of Local Guides have probably already made this suggestion, but I would love replies to comments, in posts in Connect, to flow better, in order to make more sense. Just like Facebook and Instagram have done with their REPLY system.

Hi,

I had similar suggestion. Such a vast community page and I don't understand why the comment section is such a mess even now 😞

Hello @PennyChristie,

 

Thanks for this great idea! As @Venky_lightbug mentioned his idea is similar and to keep things organized I am going to merge them and the votes will merge as well.
