    I entered a new thread, received a response and now wish to respond to that response. I can't find instructions to do so. When I am at the place where it appears I can post a reply, it looks as though I need to re enter the thread title in order to reply. Is that correct? I don't seem to find a simple "reply" link which would allow a reply directly to the responder. In a long thread, how would I identify the particular post I wish to address with a reply?

    Thanks

    Instead of entering the thread title, enter the poster's screen name then type away.....

    The title box becomes the title of your post as this one did. shylo is the title of my post..

    Open the thread you started or to which you want to contribute - at the bottom of the thread is a Reply button. Hit this and the message pane appears. Type your message and hit Submit Reply. There is no need to add a title. This message has a blank title. Your message will be posted into the thread you had open when you hit Reply.
    If the poster was Fred, just start your reply with 'Hi Fred' or similar. If you want to refer to a specific post give it's number - top right of each post this is #3.

    Thanks. And if you care to pursue, should this have been intuitive, or did I miss the the link giving instructions which would have covered this?

    At the top of this page is labeled FAQ. That should get you started and if you still have questions just jump in and ask. You'll find this a very agreeable and helpful place.

    Welcome to the board. Glad to have you....:cool:
