"Reply" link sometimes dissapears beneath some posts?

I noticed that sometimes the "reply" link simply does not exist, on the bottom of some posts. Thus, in those cases I need to use "reply" link on some other posts, which adds my new post not bellow the desired one.

I used to use some other types of PHP forums before, like: phpBB2, vbulletion, Inovision power boards, simple machines and so on.

But when I registered in here, that was the first time I started using this Ning type.

Now I do not have anything against it. I was just trying to say that maybe I am inexperienced with it. But still a couple of months in here, and I am from time to time still noticing that lack of "reply" link on the bottom of some posts.

Did anyone experience the same?

P.S.

I am not sure if this post should go in this sub-section. If I posted in wrong one, please forgive me for my ignorance.

its to prevent the thread getting closer and closer to the right hand margin. not sure of the exact number but it is used because of the stepping nature of the replies.

Find the last post of the conversation with the reply option still available and reply to it. Your comment will appear bellow all others. It wont be nested but you can continue the conversation that way.

Thank you for the explanation Danny.

Vicente: that is what I am doing. But that just puts my reply on the bottom of all above. And sometimes that is not what I want - Instead of that, I want to put a reply to a particular post inside the Discussion in a way that my reply will appear bellow that post in discussion (not on the bottom).

But I see now, as Danny explained, that technical limits are the reason for this.
