DC improvement request: Make 'reply to comment' more visible

Since it took me a while to find the correct place to reply to a specific comment and not the post itself, I thought I'd make this observation an 'improvement request'.

Currently a comment has only the small grey arrow at the bottom, next to the 'favorite' button. The 'favorite' button has color and text which make it way more prominent. The 'reply' button on the other hand is gray and has no text. It's easy to miss.

I suggest adding at least text and perhaps also some color to the 'reply' button to make it stand out more. Even a tooltip would be useful.

Also, I think the arrow is pointing the wrong way :) It's common (at least in Outlook and Gmail) that the 'reply' arrow is pointing left.

Agreed - normally the right-facing arrows are for forwarding :)

Next release has an upgraded UI and that icon is replaced with link "Add a comment" so it's very clear now.
