Confusion re replying to a POST comment OR a THREAD comment
This confusion crops up now and again and is capable of creating misunderstanding.
With the help from of our 'Neighbourly Team', I will attempt to explain:
The main post will display a white 'bar' with the word "Reply'.
So away you go. On close attention, one will note the comments follow the left hand margin.
As the comments increase, (these are called 'threads'...) there may be one thread you particularly wish to comment on.
Now is the time to use 'Reply', written in BLUE at the end of the thread comment. This will create an indent for the text so one knows the new comment applies to the new thread.
Hence one will note the 'margin' has moved to the right.
This action can also be used by another contributor and keeps the conversation focused on all inputs, rather than back to the main post at times.
My NT team member attached a cool graphic with Superman showing the 'POW!" in the correct place ... but my computer won't let me save and/or share unfortunately.
SO: just keep an open eye and mind to ensure a reply fits the comment.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
