- Description
What first caught my attention was this message in a forum thread: "There are no comments at this time." I assumed this means there are no replies at this time, but this could be confusing to new users - what is the difference between a comment and a reply? It was pointed out
that probably the same code is used for forums and comments like those at the bottom of wiki pages.
I thought about some ways to either change the code to provide two different messages or change the alert message to cover both contexts.
But then I thought what is the purpose of the alert message to begin with? It is already obvious that the forum post has no replies or the wiki page, etc. has no comments. So I propose replacing the message that states the obvious to a message that is positive and engaging, something like "Contribute your thoughts", "Add your thoughts", or "Share your thoughts" along with an appropriate icon.
