Bigger Buttons

I think the two most used buttons on the page are the New Post button and the Reply Button. I can see the New Post button easily, but can you please make the Reply button a little bigger or write the text ''Reply'' in the button instead of having a nameless icon? I had a little trouble finding it. http://www.geocities.com/hey_muk

I don''t get it... this has been reported three times now, can you not see the button?
Now I do, but I swear it was a different icon than that one
a little while ago. Problem solved.

Come on Rhino, what about the new users? It''ll take time for them to find it as well. You just can''t keep reporting about it all the time to everyone. Just write a short piece of text ("reply") to the either side of it.
I''m working on a new button, but I don''t get what the problem is. The button on the old forums was pretty much the same size, with the exact same text (it says reply right on the button!), and we never had anyone complaining about not knowing how to reply. Does this one just blend into the page too well?
Although it is a little on the small side, I don''t see how anyone could possibly miss it....
Yes, this button is visible:


The button I was referring to, has mysteriously disappeared,
but it looked something like this:



And it had no text on it.

All the pages look consistent now, so don''t worry about it.

Ahh, I think I know what the problem is. In the old forums, there was an graphic with the same name that was used for quoting posts. People must be seeing it because it''s in their cache.
Hmm, guess my cache is either really small, or I have some auto-refresh setting turned on. The first time I visited this new version of the forums, the new "Post Reply" graphic apeared just fine.

Someone suggested putting "reply" on either side of the graphic. This obviously isn''t needed. (Instead, EVERYONE SHOULD HIT THE REFRESH BUTTON OR CLEAR THEIR CACHE IF THAT DOESN''T WORK.) Still, putting in the alternate text "Post Reply" couldn''t hurt, and would be nice.
mmhmmm *nods*
I experienced this too. It was the exact same icon as the Reply To Post one.
