Why is the Reply button disabled for a post, when I Am signed in?

[BarneyW]

I want to reply to a post that I found helpful - about why my screen goes blank when I make a phone call.  But the Reply button is disabled.  Also, I can't find a way to mark a Kudos for a good post.

That's usually because you aren't logged in. but if you weren't logged in you probably wouldn't be able to create this post either, so I'm not sure.

The address for the particulat post is

I am logged in and the Reply button is disabled - but this time I was able to click on machwave's Kudos to increment it.

I found that the proximity emitter/sensor pair is visible, by shining a bright light at that upper left corner.

Covering the detector was my problem - so his post was most informative!

- Any chance that the Reply button is disabled Administratively, like "old post, not active"?

Reply is disabled for me on that post as well? Don't know why. I didn't see anything (obvious) that would indicate it isn't a "normal" post, but I could easily have missed something.

Sorry I'm not more help.

The reply box was available for me in the mobile version of the site. Kudos looked viable too.

Yep, mobile version seems fine. Full version is broken??

I don't post a reply to the thread in particular, but I was able to get to the "Reply to message" page.  This was using my computer and IE8.
