Meta: Commenting Issue
Can we remove the reply button when trying to comment on a post? I don't know how many times I have hit reply instead of save only to have everything I typed deleted and then I have to start over. Super frustrating and I usually end up not commenting at all.
Wondering how many other people have this issue.

Colin Cowherd and ESPN pushing Harbaugh to Green Bay. Now multiple shows on different networks are also reporting Harbaugh is Green Bay's top choice
December 6th, 2018 at 12:12 PM ^
I thought he was going to Oakland though!
December 6th, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
I thought we already had a Harbaugh leaving OP, just a little below this one (Chris Carter...)
December 6th, 2018 at 1:13 PM ^
Harbaugh to Oaklahoma confirmed?
December 6th, 2018 at 1:36 PM ^
I just hope it doesn't become a distraction as it pertains to recruiting. Rival coaches latch onto this type of shit and use it to try and sway recruits.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:17 PM ^
Yeah, that "Reply" button does seem superfluous. I mean, not all that confusing, but certainly redundant.
Honestly, I never even noticed it until you brought it up.

And Emily ratajkowski is my first choice to get into bed with, but that doesn’t mean anything either.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
Came here to post the exact same thing about Alison Brie.
Emily is hot as fuck too though. And she's naked pretty much all the time. So she has that going for her.
Which is nice.

As attractive as Alison is, Emily is on a whole different level.
December 6th, 2018 at 2:29 PM ^
Man, i don't know. She needs to stop with the lip botox ASAP. Those suckers are getting huge.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:23 PM ^
Taking my Maize colored glasses off, Jim would be a good fit in Green Bay. Actually either of the Harbaugh's would be.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
I see a reminder that Harbaugh's family "lives in Ann Arbor" coming your way to dispel any possible mention that he could be a serious candidate for this job.
In all honesty though, there have been enough second hand reports in the last few days to conclude that Harbaugh is likely on the Green Bay's short list. That has nothing to do with whether or not Harbaugh would want or take the job but I think it is approaching "safe" to assume that the Packers are interested.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
Harbaugh is on everyone’s short list.
December 7th, 2018 at 6:46 AM ^
Also their sh*t list in many places
December 6th, 2018 at 1:01 PM ^
Oh, Billy.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:20 PM ^
The commenting is all jacked up. I so miss the Android app for 2.0 where you could get to spots in threads so much faster.
Also, does anyone else have to hit "save" twice? It never posts the first time.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:28 PM ^
I've had that happen a lot. And yesterday the site wouldn't let me log in from work at all. Too many attempts or some such BS.
3.0 really is a clusterfuck on the board side.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:56 PM ^
I’ll forever miss the app of which we must not speak HD, it was the optimal way to use MGoBlog but it’s servers have been moved to Bolivia.
December 6th, 2018 at 5:19 PM ^
Have your hackers do something constructive for a change and fix that, OK?
December 6th, 2018 at 5:42 PM ^
You mean these hackers?
December 6th, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
Can you have some of your pals check Green Bay brass' emails to confirm if this is true? I see I was a bit late on this take. Pardon me comrad.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:21 PM ^
I have made this mistake a time or two. "Save" itself is kind of an odd button name. Maybe "Submit" would be better?
December 6th, 2018 at 12:36 PM ^
I sometimes hit "done" after typing on my iPad, thinking that is the "Send" button. "Submit" is a better choice IMHO
December 6th, 2018 at 12:22 PM ^
I have been bit by that one as well. Would definitely like to see this changed.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:22 PM ^
Upon reading the responses to this point i have come to the conclusion that this thread is high.
Or everyone responding is.
Or both.

Weed is officially legal in Michigan today, so that's not a bad guess.
December 8th, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
You mean MariHuana... :)

In multiple page threads it would be cool if the page number selections were at the top of the comments instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:47 PM ^
Yes, and when you reply to a comment on anything but the last page of a muliple-page thread, it dumps you on the last page. Then you have to scroll down and choose whatever page you had been on, then scroll some more to find your comment.
I have a similar complaint with the Athletic. You'll get a notification that someone has replied to your comment, but when you tap it, it doesn't take you right to the comment itself. You still have to scroll and find, which is harder there because they collapse comment threads after 3 replies.
Why are these simple little tweaks so hard to implement?
December 6th, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^
Yes please.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
I don’t understand what you are talking about. You click on “reply” on someone’s post to bring up the comment box and reply to them. Then you click either “save” to post the comment or “preview” to see if your gif or video will post correctly, in the comment box to post that reply. There is no other “reply” button in the comment box.
December 6th, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Agree. Not hitting the Reply button takes a bit to get used, but after a little practice you'll get it.
December 6th, 2018 at 5:35 PM ^
There is still a reply button above the comment window that will cause your text to be deleted and is essentially a re-reply. It's superfluous and has caught me a few times. I think it's because it is solid blue and sort of draws the eye a bit, but it also makes more logical sense as a submit button than save does.
December 6th, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^
well then stop doing that
December 6th, 2018 at 1:01 PM ^
I miss the 504 error screen..... can we bring that back when people ask for stupid shit?
December 6th, 2018 at 1:29 PM ^
Danger Danger Will Robinson!
Thread hijack in progress!
December 6th, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
Who wants to join me in doing an LBO of MGoBlog so we can upgrade the site, change the name to MGoBlockchain, take it public and profit, as they say.
December 6th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
i'd invest a bit of coin!
December 6th, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
My pet peeve is having the Comment box above all the replies. It'd make a lot more sense at the bottom.
December 6th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
I can honestly say that I have never had this problem and I have no clue how you have. You hit "reply" to reply directly to a post and "save" to save it. What's this other "reply" button you speak of?
December 6th, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
Ahh. Huh. Never noticed it.
December 6th, 2018 at 4:09 PM ^
*raises hand*
December 6th, 2018 at 4:28 PM ^
I am pretty sure I've nearly hit it a few times, only to stop myself. I do agree with others though that the button is probably not necessarily in the described situation.
December 6th, 2018 at 9:13 PM ^
I've pushed reply by mistake. It is frustrating.
December 8th, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
When you hit the wrong button just see that as an opportunity to have a second chance to moderate your self before posting something stupid.
Yes, many time I wished to have use the wrong button... Many time...
