Replying to a Thread in the Forum

[Brent Layman]

<h1>Replying to a Thread in the Forum</h1>If you want to reply to an existing thread that your are reading, simply click the &quot;Post Reply&quot; button.<br /><br /><img border="1" src="/uploads/help/postreply.jpg" /><br /><br />The new post window will then appear. If you like want to quote a portion (or all) of a previous post in your reply, instead of clicking the &quot;Post Reply&quot; button, click the &quot;Quote&quot; button in the post you want to quote.<br /><br /><img border="1" src="/uploads/help/forum_quote.jpg" /><br /><br />Once you do that, the quoted message will appear between [QUOTE] tags. You can place your reply above or below the quoted text.<br /><br /><img border="1" src="/uploads/help/forum_quotereply.jpg" /><br /><br />

Note - you can modify the quote tags to better fit your reply. For example, in the picture below, see how the quote has been broken into two parts with a reply for each:<br /><br /><img border="1" src="/uploads/help/forum_quotetwo.jpg" /><br /><br />Once you click on &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold;">Submit Reply</span>&quot; the actual message will look like this:<br /><br /><img border="1" src="/uploads/help/forum_quoteexample.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br />
