There are three reply tabs visible when replying to a thread. That isn't necessary.

I don't really use this site, but if I go to a brick and mortar, and merchandise is on the floor, nothing in the place that it should be. IOW a mess, I'me walking out of that store and going to another.

>I'm walking out of that store and going to another.

 
Go right ahead and find another place like TER, or you can chill with the preadonna bullshit.

 

Realistically, there are 2 reply buttons, one that replies to the whole thread, one that replies to a particular poster. There's another reply button at the top of the thread that also replies to the thread but doesn't require that you scroll to the bottom to use it.
Seems to make perfect sense to have 3.

Promise??????

It's a bad design and creates confusion on threads.  

Don't fix it, if my posts don't show up where I want them, that's fine. People can stay confused while reading threads.

I wanted TER to factor this into the validity of my suggestion.

This format takes too much of my undivided attention. It's too much work for me to tell people when they are wrong.

I  can only respond to one post at a time, one reply tab would make sense.

You can only click on one reply button at a time too so having them in different locations for the type of reply you are making seems to be easier. Does it really confuse you that much?
