I can’t seem to figure out since they’ve changed to this new forum format how to actually reply to a person. Every time I click on the little arrow to reply to a specific post I do not get the option to quote their post and all it does is dump my reply at the end of the thread. Can somebody direct me on how to do this properly please.
Quoting is not automatic. To quote someone you can select some text and a Quote option will pop up so that it appears in your reply. If you reply to a post, the reply will be connected to that post. If you scroll to the bottom of a topic and select the reply below the vertical thread nav scroll, it will reply to the the thread and not a specific person.
Hey Max thanks. Been on here for years and have chatted with you many times. Great to see you’re still keeping this ship on course. I’ve replied to a few comments and they are not attaching. I’m clicking the little reply arrow directly on their comment. Instead they’re just being dumped at the end of thread. For some reason it’s not working properly, like it used to.
Thanks for the tip on quoting.
Overall the forum upgrade is a significant Improvement on what we had for years. I need to get this part straightened out as my comments look like they’re going to whoever is at the end of the thread.
Okay I think I’m seeing how the replies work. In most forums you have an original post and the replies are staggered underneath like an outline. But in this forum it has the word “Replies” with a little bubble under it and you have to actually open it up. It makes it hard for readers to tell what you’re replying to unless you directly quote. Don’t really like this layout as it’s not very intuitive to people reading but I’ll get used to it. Thanks for your time Max.
