    When I click on 'Edit', the editing window comes up and, at bottom right, there is button labeled 'Edit Reply' ...

    ... but I'm already in the Editor. I think it should say 'Post Edit', not 'Edit Reply'.

    I agree. It was initially confusing until I got used to it.

    Other options could be "Submit", "Send".

    I'll pass the information on. But it's unlilkely to be changed before a new version comes out.

    Thanks, Alan, when might that be?

    I also have the problem with understanding what "Edit Reply" means. To clarify, what the "Edit Reply" does is take you back to where you were. If the post has already gone live, it goes back there; but, if you are still in the composing mode, it returns there.

    In my case, I write a post and add pictures and then hit Preview. This shows me what I need to correct/change/refine. I then hit Edit to make the changes and when I hit "Edit Reply", I go back to Preview -- and repeat the process until I am happy. It is only at the end that I hit "Post Reply"

    I would suggest that "Edit done" would be a better substitute of "Edit Reply". It would be less confusing to me, and I meet this problem often!
