Replying to a thread, will bring up an empty box for you to type in.
The previous posts on the thread (one topic---like this one) remain. You cannot alter someone else's post. Only moderators can do that if absolutely necessary or requested.
A thread is one topic with a starter post often abbreviated OP...original poster. It can be a question like you wrote and I moved here: A thread "grows" and depends on how many people respond to it.

Click on this link and you will see your post that I moved here.
There are no responses to it yet. This is not a very busy venue, but the regulars will come on eventually in a day or so or more.
A post is one person's communication on the topic.
Just look around at the main index....

and when you feel comfortable about looking around at the various topics, etc there are more advanced things you can do.

But to be honest, I just use the basic skills myself. This type of software offers lots of bells and whistles, but you don't need them to just basically communicate.
To learn a software, it is best to experiment with it. Click Back to go back, or click on titles to see them, anything underlined, or in a highlighted color is clickable (there are exceptions I guess but I've never found them.).
When you are done typing in a reply box, scroll down and hit Submit reply. If you goof up, one of us will see it and help you.
But it won't be instantly, but since this is a slower forum, a little wait is not a handicap.
