Ahhh, where WERE our manners!! We usually try and cover that one. Right under the post you wish to reply to are three tabs. The first is reply (that is for just generally posting to the world). The second is Quote Reply. That's the one you want to click on, but BEFORE you start your post to the individual you wish to reply to. Can't remember what the third one is, because I never use it!! You can either make your return post either at the top of the original post or below it -- your choice.

Searching has it, Skippy. Hit quote reply, type your reply, hit send. Once it posts, if you spot a mistake, or wish to add something else, hit edit, type in your correction, addition, or whatnot, and update.

Skippy... dont worry if you make a mistake or two.... I was full of 'em when I first posted and still make some... but after you read what you posted... and you dont like how it sounded, you can go back in there by hitting the 'edit' thing there.. and change it. A lot of times, I type what i want to say on another piece of paper then paste it in there. That way I have read it over good to make sure I have it right... but even then... I dont always. Just don't worry about making a mistake... all of us have done so.

If you want to 'reply' to what the person said 'above' you, hit reply... but if you want to 'quote' what someone said up above the others here, then hit 'quote' and that will come down on your page to write below on then you can start typing in your comment. in this white page here....

Skippy.. also.. when you are on a page, if you will move your cursor way up to the very top of the page... it will say...'Newest Topics' .... and you can click on that and see what other topics you might want to comment on too...

Oh, and under O..P...P.., second line -- "Buddy List" -- I like it because it lets me know if folks are online or not. I use mine for the purpose of keeping up with friends and people that I just find interesting to ponder over. One last thing -- two over from Buddy List -- Private Messages. Sometimes, you would rather not say something to all of OPP for sharing. It comes in handy as well.

One time I clicked on that Private Message thing that was down below here or somewhere around here.. thinking I had a message.. when all it did was install some blasted tool bar on my puter....

You have to watch OPP. I have clicked various, "thinking" I am at the right place, but somehow I am not. It does get tedious at times, it does!!

My favorite on that line is My Topics. It saves me lots of time to be able to see who is talking to me and even better I can see how many people have opened the thread. Way more open than write and that makes it hard to tell how many really read the post.
