In a class discussion, if volume is high or a user is away from the internet for a few days, a user or professor may want to answer or speak to another users entry.  We need to be able to interject a response back in the history in direct response to another entry.

  Hi Mark,

  Well, right now you can click "reply" to a user's comment in a discussion and your reply will be injected into the feed under the comment to which you're replying... is that something like what you had in mind?

  Thanks!

  I'm not seeing it.  All I see is the delete button.

  Hi Mark,

  [Responding to your email]: are you on a particular Lesson > Discussions?  The way things should work is 1) someone starts a discussion, 2) people can add comments to that discussion topic and 3) people can reply to each comment (by clicking "reply")... If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to be able to reply to the replies?

  Thanks for your time - we definitely want to understand how you all are using Populi!

  I'm sorry, I don't see a "reply" button anywhere.

  Hi Mark,

  No problem... let me know which course you're looking at and I'll figure out what's going on!  You can either open a support ticket, or let me know at james@populiweb.com

  Thanks!

  Hi Mark,

  Aha... thanks for the clarification - and yes, it is a bit confusing that the course Bulletin Board doesn't have replies, but the Discussions within individual lessons do!  Thanks for the feature request... we'll definitely keep this in mind for next time we upgrade the courses section.

  And for now, sounds like you might want to encourage students to start discussions within lessons whenever possible, and just keep the course Bulletin Board for general announcements/questions about course meeting times, etc.

  Thanks for your feedback!

  The Course Bulletin Board does have replies now. Click "Comment".

  Is the request for the ability to make replies in discussions that are displayed not in chronological order?
