The forum used to show an icon/link pointing torwards the post replied to but its been missing for a while.
Is it just my setup or is it a forum bug/mis-configuration?
Simon Ive noticed if you reply to the last comment, it looks like you did a thread reply (I guess as it's next comment in the thread, it is implied you are replying to the comment immediately above) however, if you reply to a message further back, it does the "icon/link" thing.
But in short, it also happens to me on mobile and pc. Has been this way for several months (I think)
Perhaps it is a new setting or a new feature in the forum software?
Lets try that - so this is a reply to your 1st post - try replying to my 1st post and lets see if icon appears
(testing) Reply to your first post.
Now I'm confused.
Perhaps as there are only 2 of us in the thread is doesn't bother! ?!?
Edit
Damn. This reply to your 2nd post has the icon) link
Now I'm confused more.
This is a repy to your 1st post
And now they've started appearing!
This is a reply to the last comment...
Edit - a next reply doesn't have the icon/link
This is a reply to your 1st post
Could you be explicit in what post you were replying to?
[edit This doesn't have the link since I clicked on the Quote option - obs doesn't need it because the quote identifies the source post]
So just like this comment, I replied to the very last comment in the thread.
It is my guess this will NOT have the icon/link.
Can you reply to this comment Simon?
Here is my reply to your last post
So I see no icon)link but I did get a notification you replied.
Hmmmm
Well hopefully we've covered all scenarios - ta for help

This has been confusing me as well. I don't know if this thread made any more sense to it though. Was there a pattern that I missed?
I think the pattern is that replying to last post doesn't show an icon but replying to previous posts does.
Which doesn't help when your trying to work out if a poster is making a general comment or specifically replying to the last poster
