Highly disappointed that comment sections added to pages do not have active "reply" or "edit" buttons. This prevents dialog on individual comments, and prevents anyone from editing errors after their comment is posted. If anyone clicks reply button to respond to a comment it does not show under the comment they are replying to, but instead at the end of the comment stream as a whole new comment of its own. Wish for a plug-in or something else to fix this "reply" and "edit" button malfunction. Thank you.

The easy website builder wasn't working, but gave me no indication on that fact or what else to do. Guidance on going through bluehost's website builder itself was non-existent.
