Just went to respond to a comment, and saw a reply button. How long has that been there? I didn't notice it this AM. What is the point of that option?
I don't know about a reply to a specific comment button but on every hub we have written we have been able to post a reply. There have to our knowledge never been a hub we have commented on where we didn't see a return comment from the hub author.
Granted a few of them took over a month when we commented on something written six months or more ago.
We have been writing on hub pages about as long as you have. Too many of our articles end up other places so we are not prolific hubbers. We do try to make comments as often as possible to keep our hub score up. At one time we had 396 comments we had made, found under our writing nick on Google. At that time there were probably four who hadn't responded.
Mary, that is brand-new, had to be sometime this evening.
Unfortunately, instead of attaching the reply to the actual comment made, it just loads them into the general comment order. In essence, it's a button that just duplicates the previous function of going down to the comment box and making a comment, only now you don't have to do it that way.
Why admin didn't take it a step further and make it so the replies are attached to the questions that generated them is beyond me...
I think it's something brand new. We'll know for sure I guess by tomorrow. I thought it was a good feature when I saw it. We will know for sure when we respond to a comment, huh??
The only drawback I see with this feature of replying to comments is that your author's comment doesn't show, and I like to read those. Correct me if I'm wrong on this. I just responded to a comment, and used the reply button. It doesn't give you the opportunity of changing your comment, either. That's a good thing cause you can go back and correct a misspelled word if you need to. Once you hit that reply button, your comment is gone. Any comment on this?

When I get a comment on one of my hubs I usually reply, at least with a thanks if I can. I notice some do and others do not reply to comments.I am wondering if there is any reason for not replying apart from being too busy to do so? Is it bad for bandwidth? does it score against your page rank,...

Do you reply back to each person who leaves a comment on your hubs?Please explain the reason why you do or do not. I am wondering if I need to do this or not since I have noticed that some folks do this pretty faithfully.

When I receive a notification of a new comment on one of my Hubs, the "Reply" button is no longer available. The "Deny" button is still there. Funny thing is when I have multiple comments. I answer the first one via the "Leave a Comment" Box at the bottom. When I...

What happened to the reply button on the comment section?I have realized the reply button is becoming available only after you scroll all the way down to the comment box, type your reply and hit the post comment button. Anyone with an explanation to this?

If I view my account's Comments page, it's easy to view, approve and respond to unapproved comments. However, if I go to a new comment in one of my hubs and click Approve, I cannot reply to it directly on the comment. Instead, I have to go to my main Comments page and find the now approved comment...

Hello, I know I suggest too many new features, but I noticed that it is very easy to respond to comments on the HubPages iPhone app. I have the comment right in front of me and have three choices underneath, "Deny," "Approve," and "Reply." I just click on...
