Hi,
I am new to this site!! Could someone help me please? I am having difficulty replying to threads/posts (don't really understand what the difference in these are either). When I reply in the box at the bottom of all the replies so far and then click to send my reply, it doesn't seem to appear at the bottom of all the other replies and I can't seem to find how to do this on the help menu.

Hi Donzi

Have you checked right at the bottom under posting rules what you are allowed to do? If I want to post a reply I usually click on reply button of the last post and have had no problems that way.

hi ya
when ure reading a post and u would like to reply u can click the post "reply button "at the bottom of the last message on the left, then a new box will appear u can write your message then click "submit post" at the bottom now ure message will appear on the forum.
or press the reply button on the right hand side next to quote button this is when u do a quick reply using the box below then click on the button "post quick reply" to submit it

Thanks for that but what is the difference between clicking on the 'post reply' button on bottom left and the 'reply' button next to the quote?

hi ya well if u press the post reply on the left u see a bigger box u can change colour of ure writing,size, underline it, add smiles etc to ure reply

on the other reply its just a straight forward quick reply hth xx

Hey Donzie.

A thread is a discussion. The title of this thread is 'Help with site'. A thread contains at least 1 post. You started this thread and everyone has created posts to respond to it. So the good news is that you have already kind of mastered this (You started a new thread and have posted a reply to it)

The 'Reply' button at the bottom of each post is called the 'Quick reply' button. Clicking this on any post you wish to respond to makes the page jump down to the 'Quick Reply' box at the bottom of the page.
There you can quickly make a post without going to a new page to create your message. The quick reply is like a cheap and cheerful reply box that is faster for most users who are not going to use a lot of formatting in their message.
If you want a lot of formatting, click the Post Reply button (or 'Go Advanced' when you are using the Quick Reply box). That will take you to a new page with all of the formatting options.

Try checking out the FAQ or the Help section for more info.
