In summary, the conversation discusses a recurring issue where the "reply" button does not appear until after several swipes or highlights. This issue seems to be direction sensitive and may be caused by a set bit that needs to be toggled. The person experiencing this issue is not showing up on the "Unanswered Threads" list.

Usually takes me three or four swipe/highlights before "reply" button appears. Seems to be direction sensitive but sometimes i have to swipe L to R other times R to L. Maybe some bit gets set and has to be toggled ?
