Question Can't figure it out.
Am trying to figure this site out and finding it really confusing and difficult to negotiate. Can't work out any way to post other than to create a new thread. Am I the only one who's having difficulties?

Sorry to hear that you're having difficulties - this forum uses what's probably the most popular bulletin board software out there, and most people seem to manage OK.

To add a reply to the end of a thread, just type your message in the "Quick Reply" box at the bottom of the page, and click the "Post Quick Reply" button.

To quote a particular message and reply to it, click the "Quote" button below and to the right of a message.

Hi, Mark. Welcome. I know we've never "met", but you came to my defense on that "other" forum. You know, the one that bans authors for life for one small misstep? So, thank you for that.

As for posting here, I just click on the new reply button and put my message in the box.

Quick Reply Box?
I am not seeing the "Quick Reply" box you mentioned. I was directed to sign in and then reached this "Reply to thread" box. I cannot speak to others experience, but I am not finding this intuitive. I still don't seem to be able to reply to specific posters - sorry Joyce.

As a college educated grade-A professional who has written three books, I don't normally consider myself particularly dense! I am trying to wade through this jungle with a mental machete, but if anyone has any other suggestions...

Hi Joyce!!!!

O.K., now the Quick Reply box has suddenly appeared. Great timing. What did you mean by "put my message in the box"?

Ooooh, there's now another button labelled "Go Advanced". I don't think I dare press it as it's probably the "self destruct", or something!

Ahhh. So the tiny button that says "quote" actually means "reply". Is that right? How silly of me!

Hi mwhiteway Welcome

At the bottom of the thread should be a white quick reply box which you can type your message in under that is 2 buttons one to post the quick reply and one to go advanced

Was just wondering what browser you are using? as it appears you may be missing stuff off the bottom of the page
