Post to a thread

[vintner]

How do you post to an existing thread ? Example: I see a posting in amateur picture feedback forum that I wish to respond to. Where do I click ? I was told there is a QUOTE message to click on, but it is nowhere in sight ! If someone can help, I will provide e-mail address so we can exchange screenshots. Thanks.

this is actually very simple.

the easy way: at the bottom left corner of each post in a thread, there is a small button labeled quote. if you push it, the forum software will automatically reply to the thread and in addition, it will put the contents of that particular post in your thread and provide the special code that will create the quote effect around it.

there's a harder way of doing this as well, but it's a bit more flexible:

1. cut & paste what you want to quote
2. put the command quote (surrounded by [] brackets). close the command by adding the same but with a / character before the word quote.
3. if you want it to attribute the quote to a person, the command should read quote= and add the user name after the = sign.
