Reply to a topic?

How do you reply to a topic on this new board? I tried to reply to one and all I did was quote the original response. I couldn't find a way to respond. What am I doing wrong? I really do like this board, just need to learn how to use it. I really appreciate the effort that was made in setting up this board. I really felt lost when the other board was shut down. I haven't responded very often in the past, but I read the postings often. I'll try to do better in the future.

What I do, correct or not, is click reply which brings up the prior post. I then highlight and delete the prior post and type in the same box. ;)

The quote shows that you are replying to that specific post. If you just want to make a general reply in the thread rather than to a specific comment, you can do what mchampine said above, or you can scroll to the bottom and use the Fast Reply or Add Reply buttons. Here's what they look like:

Thank you Marilyn. If this gets posted, then I'll know it works.

Thanks erc. You replied while I was replying to Marilyn. I made a copy of your answer and will keep it handy for future reference. I am already beginning to feel like a pro.

This is great! I think once I learn to use it, I will like this message board even better than the new and improved one we no longer have! I hope ATX didn't spend a whole lot upgrading a board they were just using to jerk us around with! THanks, ERC, for setting this one up! :rolleyes:

I find this board much easier to use than the now defunct ATX Community one.

Good job erc!
