What do you mean by "the actual reply"? Is there a special notification for a direct reply to one of my posts?
I think it refers to "the post that triggered the notification" vs. "things that have happened since I visited the board", or something along those lines.
I'm not sure that makes too much sense at the moment: as long as structured discussions are largely disabled, and many of the reply 'buttons' seem to be functionally equivalent, we can't rely on users pressing the right 'reply', so we're not sure what they're replying to.
What do you mean by "structured discussions are largely disabled"? Are you referring to the 3-post depth limit?
As far as the reply links, they are functionally different (replying to the topic, vs. replying to a post). However, we will soon collect information to determine if users make use of both of them regularly, and thus whether to keep both in the UI.
