I’m on noob on Blorp, but the icons to comment on someones comment on a post versus when sending a private message to someone need to be switched.

    what’s in the circle is what i’m talking about. The arrow is to directly comment you while the 3 dots is to either send you a private message, share a post/link or to report someone or something. I wouldn’t think the arrow would mean to comment until I click it. That looks more like a “reshare” button.

      OK, that looks similar to the interface I am using…

      But why would you not expect replying to a comment to be the most visible, most easily accessible, “default” action? It’s certainly what people do the most.

      yeah but you say switched. I mean personally reshare does not really mean anything to me. It looks like reply for an email so I take it as reply. I certainly would not want it to be three dots or an option under the three dots and for pull down menus I would want them on the far right.

        My bad, I meant changing the look of the icons for what they are, when I say switch. Idk… maybe its because I’m so used to big tech media.

        now that option for the 3 dots is a better idea so the pop up does appear better. Currently, It appears on the screen as if some options are cut off when you click on it.

          if you really hate it piefeds reply is the word reply along with a cartoon type speech buble and its on the far left. the thre dot menu is on the far right with a lot of void space between it and the left stuff but it shares its space with the notify icon.
