replying to messages

[french frank]

If you're replying to a post (as I am now to yours) you click on "" Quote at the bottom of their post. It's which post in the block before me on the screen I am responding to by clicking Post Reply in the top LH corner that I am concerned about, because I don't know which. Until this is sorted out I think what I shall do when responding is to click on "" Quote as already mentioned, write my response beneath the quote, and then delete the quote - just leaving my response - and send. Seems the simplest solution.

Something is escaping me here. If you delete the quote doesn't it end up looking just the same as if you clicked on Post Reply instead of "Quote?

If you're referring to PMs, apparently they are now arranged in 'conversations'. So your block of posts is probably a conversation. I suppose the assumption is that you're replying to the latest post in the conversation. I'm not very au fait with PMs as yet, I'm afraid, and I can't see how you include a quote in the same way as you do for forum posts.

When a block of posts comes up including the one to be replied to, unless one is replying to a post containing a quotation one wants to incorporate into one's reply, how does one know which post one is replying to? Is it the one at the bottom of the current page, or the top, or bottom, of the entire thread? Does one have to delete the quote from one's reply? Or is it just a matter of aligning the post in question alongside the Post Reply button, top left corner? All my replies so far have incorporated respondees in quotes.

For Personal Messages?

Looking at the web page (Firefox Browser) on my desktop, I had the same problem looking just at my "Inbox" where all recent messages are shown. I found the reply button by clicking (only once) on the subject line (the heading - description as it were) of the message immediately under the sender's forum name .

What do you see, doing that on an iPad?

Absolutely nothing.
I should have some goof off time at work this afternoon where I have access to a Windows Desktop and will see what that offers.
Nick,if you are reading this, I received your PM but am currently unable to respond to it, but thank you for sending the YT clip

Yes, I recently cottoned on to that.

You can either click on the "Post Reply" button (to the left, above the message to be replied to) or the "Quote" button to the bottom right of that post, depending on how you wish to compose your reply.

Or just go straight to the text entry box containing "Write something..."
