Replying in discourse - how is context shown

Continuing the discussion from Darktable Color Balance-like CTL script request:

@stuntflyer

I try to not post too much offtopic in the origin thread.

This is from the “new users guide” at meta.discourse.org:

So I think I was correct with what I wrote. It should work this way regardless of system and browser.

In this case there is indeed no context link:

I think that’s because of the quote.

Yes, note that there is a Reply button on the bottom of each post, as well as at the bottom of the thread.

If you want to be extra clear in your reply, highlight the text you want to reply to, and select the Quote button that appears by the highlight. The text will be quote in your reply and then your reply will be super duper clear.

Good advice

@paperdigits @apostel338 and @stuntflyer I also tend to like to link the person’s handle to help people understand who I am replying to.
