Where's the "Reply" button on this forum?
I just tried replying to someone who replied to my earlier post and I don't see a "Send" kind of icon, so that I know that my reply has been posted. This is bizarre.

Here I'm getting a red line which I can't comment underneath, so I'm guessing that my reply here will be part of your quote. Acronis Forum is so...unique.

With the quote feature, you need to hover your mouse over the bottom right of the quoted text and you will see a small downward arrow (to insert paragraph here) which when clicked will take you to a new line below the quote box area!

re the quote feature on this forum, it's really obscure if you hit the "..." icon at the bottom right of the reply that you want to quote, as in that's what I did in this thread earlier and couldn't find a way to get my own comments outside of that.
But I just found out how to do that how I want to...just hit the quotation mark in the toolbar or whatever you call it in the reply box and then paste the comment that you want to in that but that leaves out the ID of the person you quoted. E.g.

It's weird how this forum is reinventing the wheel...and making it a square shape. On other forums you don't have to try and work out how to do stuff like this, it's just intuitive.

Hello Strummer,
thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the forum UI! Some of the button names have been in fact inherited from the older forum versions, we just get used to them 🙂 I'll ask our web developer to revise the button names and add the Reply button next to the Quote.
Regarding the below behavior

yes, I agree this is a really disturbing thing, unfortunately we couldn't get rid of it due to some technical restrictions. I'll check with my colleagues if anything could be done to improve the user experience here.
