Desktop View


To reply to a message there are two options:

1. Use the "reply" button
2. Use the "quote" button
3. Use the "quick reply" button

If going with Desktop option 1 (reply button):

1. Locate the "reply" button at the top or the bottom of the thread page.

the reply button is found at both the top and bottom of each thread/topic while logged in


2. Compose your message.

type your message in the big white box, and then click 'submit'


3. Hit submit.


If going with desktop option 2 (quote button):

1. Hit the "quote" button on the post you want to quote.

the quote button appears on each post on permies



2. The only difference is that what the person said will appear in the composition window.

if you don't want to quote everything they said, you can remove portions of the quoted text


Note: To get the result you probably want, (a quote that looks like this: instead of this:) you'll need BB code enabled on your post. This is the default setting, so you probably don't have to do anything. To confirm, look just below the text box where you type your reply. (See next image.) To enable BB code, make sure "Disable BB code in this message" is unchecked.


3. Hit submit.


If going with desktop option 3 ("quick reply" button):

1. Scroll to the bottom of the thread and click the "quick reply" button.

scroll to the bottom of the thread, and click the 'quick reply' button



2. A white rectangle will appear. Type your message inside it, and then click "submit"

you won't see the helpful buttons that tell you how to add formatting BB code, but if you know the code, you can just type it in to make your words bold, etc.





Mobile View


Mobile view has two option for making a reply:

1. Use the "reply" button
2. Use the "quote" button

The reply button is at the bottom of each topic (thread) on permies.

The quote button appears on each post on permies.

scroll to the bottom to click 'reply' or click 'quote' on the post you wish to reply to


Both the "reply" and "quote" buttons will take you to where you can type in your response. The only difference is that the "quote" button will autofill part of the reply with a quote. If you do not wish to include any or all of the quote, you can simply delete it from your reply.

once you've typed your reply, scroll down and click 'submit'.






In all the above cases (both mobile and desktop), once you hit submit, you will see your reply in the thread.

To create a new topic (also called "thread"), all one has to do is press the "new topic" on the forum or on a thread.

Adrien, so when I quote someone it will copy and paste their whole post in the composition box, then i reply from there?
What if I only want to quote one sentence out of a paragraph? Do I just delete everything but that sentence or is there a way to just quote that sentence?
I see people quoting several different posters or several different sentences in one reply box. How is that done?
Thanks!

That's right. The whole post will be in between the quote code.

What if I only want to quote one sentence out of a paragraph? Do I just delete everything but that sentence or is there a way to just quote that sentence?



You can put anything between the quotes. So yes, you can delete the parts you don't want.

I see people quoting several different posters or several different sentences in one reply box. How is that done?



This is an example!

I go into 'quote', cut the bit I want and paste it into the next person's 'quote' box, which I then generally cut down to a particular line.
I'd add that I nearly always look at my post in 'review' before hitting 'submit', which shows up typos and general silliness

Adrien,
Let's see if this works.

One frustration is that the whole page isn't on the screen. I have to scroll right to see the right side of the posting - and so I looked all over for the "Quote" button. Finally found it. Then I read the thread and couldn't find the "Post Reply" button on the bottom?? I just went back to top and pressed Post Reply which forced me to Login.

When I now press the "submit" button, who will receive this now?

Tim

You might want to zoom out of your webpage to see the whole thing.

Ctrl+0 on PC and Cmd+0 on Mac zooms to 100% in most browsers and Ctrl/Cmd and the plus and minus keys zoom in and out.

Edit: Oh yeah, you can hold down ctrl/cmd and scroll up and down with your mouse's wheel too.

The mobile site is a bit different. Simpler.

There is no "review" button for one thing, and since I'm using my phone with silly autocorrect, I often miss ridiculous typos. I could just review it before hitting submit, of course!

My computer is busted and I'm so annoyed about planned obsolescence that I'm only using the phone now and seeing if I need a new computer. I don't know.

It is good for volunteers and moderators to note that the mobile site is different, it gets confusing sometimes when the screen says one thing and the advice givers say something else.

I'm logged in and I don't find a way to start a new thread in a forum category. I'm on my phone, if that makes a difference.

On the phone, scroll all the way to the bottom and that's where you'll see the grey 'New Topic' button.

In the line of buttons, look to the far right for a "...".

Click that and the edit button will show up next to/between "quote" and "report".

Please let me know if there still is a problem.
