How do I reply to, like, save or share a post?

Every post has the same row of actions underneath it, in every feed and on the thread itself: the heart (Like), the reply count, the bookmark (Save) and Share. To start a post of your own, see How do I create a post?

Reply to a post

1. Open the post and write in the box under it.
2. Mention someone by typing @ and their username. nook suggests members of the community and people you follow.
3. Select Reply, or press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on a Mac).

To answer a particular reply, select Reply under it. The box opens right beneath that reply, and Cancel closes it. Replies can be up to 2,000 characters, with up to 10 mentions.

You need to be a member of a community to reply in it. If you aren't, the thread offers a join button in place of the reply box. Moderators can close a thread to new replies or restrict someone's replies to it.

If nook can't confirm your reply, your text stays in the box and the button changes to Retry reply. Retrying never posts the same reply twice.

Edit or delete a reply

• To edit, select the ⋯ menu on your reply, choose Edit, make your changes and select Save. Discard changes closes the editor without saving. Edited replies show edited beside the time.
• To delete, select the ⋯ menu, choose Delete reply, then Yes, delete this reply. This can't be undone. Your text is replaced with a note that you deleted it, and the replies underneath are kept.

You can't edit a reply once its thread has been closed to replies. If you mention someone new in an edit, only that person is notified.

Like and save

• Select the heart to like a post or a reply. Select it again to take your like back.
• Select the bookmark to save a post for later. Select it again to remove it from your saved posts.
