Suggestion for posting comments to a review

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Suggestion for posting comments to a review

When reading a review, there is a button at the top that says "Post Reply". It would be helpful to those who want to post to repeat this button at the bottom of the review next to the words "Like ____'s review? Post a comment saying so!".

There is a quick reply option at the bottom of the page (on most reviews), and a link to the full editor on all. There's also a jump to top button at the bottom of every post, if you don't want to scroll to the bottom. :tiphat:

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Thank you. That is a help to me personally when I want to post a reply. But if a particular review has lots of posts, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom before you get to it.

At the bottom of each review, where the link and words displayed are , for example, "[So and So's Review:] ["Name of Book"] by [Name of Author]", the link takes you back to the top also. It's confusing because you're already reading that very review when you see those words at the bottom.

And the tiny icon that looks like an arrowhead and has "Top" as its tooltip is just that - very tiny. It is also down quite a ways from the end of the review and easy to miss.

In terms of usability, I still think that a "Post Reply" at the end of the review would greatly improve the effectiveness of the site and the ease with which the reader could post a reply.

Thanks for at least considering this.

I think you're talking about the user's signature which is at the bottom of every post they make to help direct people to their latest review.
