    Difference between "replies" and "comments"

    In settings -> notifications we have these two options:

    1. Replies to your discussion (this also includes comments in your topics)
    2. Comments on your discussion

    So what is the difference between a reply and a comment? Are comments enabled? I can't seem to find any commenting option.
    You should:

    1. Read the FAQ carefully.

    2. "Say exactly what you typed and exactly what Stata typed (or did) in response. N.B. exactly!"

    3. Describe your dataset. Use list to list data when you are doing so. Use input to type in your own dataset fragment that others can experiment with.

    4. Use the advanced editing options to appropriately format quotes, data, code and Stata output. The advanced options can be toggled on/off using the A button in the top right corner of the text editor.

    Comments are not enabled. Comments are a way to embed a reply to a particular post within a topic right with that reply. The problem with this is that it makes it such that you can no longer follow a topic's discussion linearly -- you would have to scan up and down within all the replies to a topic looking for possible comments on those replies.

      Thanks Alan. I'm glad they are disabled.
