This is my second posting as a new member. I was very happy to have received about four respones to my first post. I want to write replies but cannot figure out how to do it. At the bottom of each reply on the bottom left is a spot to click "Thanks" and one that says "Reply". I clicked "Reply" and could not find a space to type my reply. There is a box like this, but it was filled with the reply that I want to answer. Above that is an empty line box labeled "Title" but typing in that didn't work either. I looked around for a page of directions for using this site but didn't find it. It seemed I saw a link when I first joined but now cannot find it. Please help. Thanks, Skippyfeet.

Let me try...

At the bottom of a post at the far right is "thanks"...to the left of it is Q-reply....this is quick reply.

Further next to the left is Quote, which brings up a quote with tags of the post you are quoting.

The Reply box (no quote feature) is not in a post. It is down to the left of the page where the post appears. It is blue in the default blue skin.

We have different skins here. The blue one is the default skin and has a pencil icon to the far right of the end of the post. Click on this and the quick reply box changes from beige to active and then you can type in it.

To view the different skins, go to the main index page. Scroll down all the way to the bottom, and at the far left is a little narrow horizontal box with a down arrow. Click the arrow and
it will bring up types of viewing changes you can make. I use Spring, for example. It is the easiest on my eyes.

Hi Skippyfeet,

When you click on Reply and see that box with the message you're replying to, that's the message being quoted, so in a long series of replies people will know exactly what you're replying to. You can edit that quote by deleting the parts you aren't replying to.

Just use the scroll bar on the right side of that text box and begin typing a line or two below the quoted text. Below the icons under the text box, there are buttons to either Preview your Post (so you can see what it looks like and edit it) or Submit it. New members posts are often held up a bit until the moderators get a chance to review them. This is temporary to cut down on spam & trolls. They will appear soon.

Welcome, and best wishes,

Doc

I use to know how to search/find all my old posts. Brain fart or not, I can not figure out how i did that.

How does one search specifically for all their old posts?
