Mentions/Updates issue - cannot add a comment

Hi, when going to Mentions widget on Home to add a reply to a comment, after you place the text, the hit Reply, the button becomes gray and nothing happens further, the message isn't posted, the same when going to the Updates section ant trying to post a comment.

I was checking for any kind of access and it's the same error for everyone.

Any idea why this is not working ?

thanks,

Bianca

Same here!

Unable to add a comment directly using the Mentions Widget, but the Update section is working fine for me.

thanks Madalyn

what about the Updates section ? it has the same behavior as the "Mentions".

What is the alternative we can give to users so they can comment on tasks ?

thanks,

Bianca

I would direct them to click the object from My Mentions where the comment is they want to reply to, and reply from there. I'm not seeing this as an issue in Updates directly within an object. When making an update there, the Submit button shows grey on default but turns blue/active as soon as you start typing something to reply.
