A number of users have reported issues with the Reply button being occasionally disabled, i. e. not working: here and here.
It does not seem easy to replicate the issue, but here's what "works" for me in like 50% of cases:
- Reply (bold blue link) to someone's message; a little text area with a blue frame should show up. If it doesn't, that's the bug.
- Refresh the page. Reply working? If it does, try switching between Visual and Source a few times. Refresh the page again.
- The button will eventually fail to work. There's going to be a blue frame around the pressed Reply button, but the text area will never show up, the button will not turn gray, and no other Reply buttons will work either.
- After refreshing the page again, this usually starts working, though sometimes more than one refresh is needed
