The title of this thread is was hyperbolic and confrontational.
If we were in the same building I would have gone with my initial title, which was much more confrontational.
I see your idea of “you’re linking two threads together” but … it’s weak. It’s not a standard use of either the grahic, or the idea of a reply.
A reply is a link, but it is not generally thought of as a link.
Maybe you could use a picture of a :butt:
- because a but
is a conjunction, that links two clauses or sentences!
#( ! )
The hover-text doesn’t help:
Just about everywhere, “share (a link)” means to externally share a reference to the post somewhere else – twitter, facebook, sms, whathaveyou. It does not connote “create a related topic within this environment”.
