Keep scrolling down.
When someone quotes your post, they’ll notify you. When someone mentions your @name, they’ll notify you. When someone replies to your post… well, you get the idea. And if you’re not around, they’ll email you, too. Reply from anywhere. Discourse is a simple, flat forum, where replies flow down the page in a line. Expand context at the bottom and top of each post to discover the full conversation – without breaking your flow. You can even expand quotes.
