Facebook reply button option in comments (7 posts)

Topic tags: comments, reply
  • Facebook rolled out the reply option within comments streams (so you can reply directly to an individual comment within a post) in the fall. Only one of my pages that I manage has this option and I love it. It makes it so much easier to respond to people individually. My question is, does anyone know when Facebook might roll this out to everyone? Do they usually take this long to “test” something like this?

  • That is a great question @julia  I had it on one of my pages briefly and then it was taken away and now I don’t have it on any.  Odd.  They do sometimes test something for awhile and then sometimes they “take it back” without rolling it out.  I guess it will depend on how people use it!

  • Thanks @andrea-vahl I’d be so sad if mine disappeared. 

  • I don’t have the feature on my page but I’ve been twiddling with http://www.postling.com/ which offers the feature – reply per post – but apparently the replys are going to where ever lost socks go

  • I just read that they are rolling it out to pages with 10,000 fans or more on Monday and for everyone else this summer. Pretty excited!

  • And @Mitch-Rezman I’d never heard of them before, but looks interesting. Too bad it’s not reliable though. 

  • I got this option just yesterday and lost it in like… minutes…so sad!! :(
