There is an "inbox" of sorts, but it took me years to find it - it's the Threads link in the top navigation bar.

Ah I see, thanks!

> TIL Hackernews has a searchbar

It does, it's at bottom of each page

On reddit 'TIL' means 'today I learned'.

P.S. TIL some people automatically downvote any post containing the word 'reddit'.

And other places on the internet.

My apologies; talk of 'TIL' and inboxes made me think of reddit.

Yeah, that's what I meant

Because it's not reddit (stop acting like it's reddit - the communities and conventions are quite different) and if you want to participate in a discussion, stay in the thread.

Did you come from /r/programming? There have been a few comment threads talking about hacker news recently.

You're making excuses for poor UX in a way that makes you sound elitist. Not alerting you that you have replies is ridiculous. "Stay in the thread"? No, thanks, I'm not going to keep checking my comments for replies. Thankfully there's hnnotify.

HN just has a poorly designed interface.

It really does, but the anti-Javascript crowd here is very vocal and would likely inspire some sort of Digg-like exodus if the UI were ever brought into the 21st century.

Sorry man, didn't know I'm not allowed to criticize poor UX. I will never say anything at all.

No I didn't come from /r/programming, or reddit for that matter.
