For some readers who use Internet Explorer, the existence of a "Post Reply" button on comments must have seemed rather confusing, as it didn't do anything when clicked, and replies had to be entered using the box below all the other comments. From the best we can tell, this issue cropped up when IE8 was released, so it's been around for a very long time (as Internet time goes).
Now it has been fixed.
Below is a screen capture of what you should see now when you click "Post Reply" to a specific comment.
If you're not seeing this, please try a hard refresh first (For all versions of Internet Explorer on Windows, either holding down the Ctrl key while pressing the Refresh button or else pressing Ctrl-F5 works.) This will load the new JavaScript that is required. You do have JavaScript enabled, right?
Instructions on enabling JavaScript from support.google.com:
Internet Explorer (9.0)
-
Select Tools from the top menu.
-
Choose Internet Options.

Click on the Security tab.

Click on Custom Level.

-
Under 'Active Scripting,' select Enable and click OK.

Yep, it works.
Funny thing is I had figured it was some error on my work's side.
Looks like the "Post Reply" and rating+/- gadgets are working OK now. Thanks.
I had problems replying in-line to comments or +/-'ing for the last 6+ months but I was able to get Chrome authorized on my computer and that helped.
