How to reply~! Did you know?

[Jennie@ifish]

Just a helpful (I hope!) note for all members.

It appears that some of you don't know which is the right button to press in order to reply.

Some members are using the "reply with quote" when you really don't need or mean to. This is the third option, below.

There are THREE ways to reply to a thread.

One, is to use the bottom left "Post a reply" which looks like this:



This button offers a full display of text options for you to play with.

Two, is a "Quick Reply" when you just want to quickly write a post. I use this most often!! I don't often need all the text options that the above one uses. I just need the basics. I would think this is the one most users should make use of, most often. It looks like this,

and is found at the far right of each post. You can choose the one to the right of ANY post, but it will show as replying to the person who wrote which one you choose.

Three is if you'd like to reply with a quote. This one is used quite a bit by new members, who don't realize that it fully quotes the message written by the other member. It looks like this:



It is found in line with the "Quick Reply" from the second option I listed.
Don't use this unless you'd like to fully quote someone.

Thanks for reading this and I hope it helps!
