- Thank you asilvering. Much appreciated, I will do my best to use these tools you have given me. I noticed I cannot reply to the others on teahouse as the reply button is greyed out. Anything I can do on my end? Thank you. (: Historyguy1138 (talk) 13:28, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for the response. I've no idea why the Reply option was greyed out - I've seen that sometimes when the message you want to reply to is unsigned, but mine wasn't. Have a look at Nick Moyes' answer to you as well. Cheers --ColinFine (talk) 09:01, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Colin. God keep you. (: Historyguy1138 (talk) 13:31, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Historyguy1138, are you sure you didn't have any open reply windows somewhere else on the same page? This happens to me all the time - I start writing a reply, decide not to post it, and navigate somewhere else, but then when I load the page again later, it's saved my half-finished reply and automatically opens it. Then I don't notice that's happened and wonder why I can't click any other reply buttons. -- asilvering (talk) 15:40, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have no idea. But maybe. I will keep an eye on that from now on. Good point. (: Historyguy1138 (talk) 16:07, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia beginners wanted for user testing
[edit]Wikimedia Deutschland is looking for beginner editors for user testing! We are working on some changes that may affect the editing experience, and we want to make sure that our changes don't make things more difficult for beginners. If you made less than 100 edits, we would love to hear from you! More information and a signup: https://greatquestion.co/wikimediadeutschland/4oADuQpx/apply. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:18, 19 September 2024 (UTC) PS: This is a one-time message to selected beginner editors. You won't get any further notifications if you're not interested.
