Often I’ll see that someone made a comment in response to what someone said as part of a discussion. If there’s an easy way to see what specifically they are responding to, without searching through the entire discussion, I haven’t found it. I know that one can also click on the name of the person being responded to, but if that person does a lot of posting, it can also be difficult to find that comment. A feature whereby one could click some where and be taken to the comment being responded to, in the context of the discussion would be helpful.
In case you didn’t figure it out, I thought you were making a joke. As Jimmy pointed out, I don’t see “parent”, because I look at his history and don’t read the sequences. I have been corrected.
Mom, I keep telling you that you need to read the sequences. Many of my posts won’t make much sense if you haven’t, even if you do read the rest of the thread.
Alicorn was referring to the Parent link that appears under comments, which refers to the parent comment-child comment relationship. The reason you aren’t seeing Parent links is because you’re reading a user history page, rather than the comments feed or a comment permalink. If you follow the comment permalink from that page, you’ll get a view of that comment and its replies, from which you can click Parent to go one step up the thread.

Click “parent”.

No, Alicorn. “Spy on son.”
