Also, how do u reply to a person's individual post? I had to copy and paste Cipster's post instead of replying to it.

Reply the same way you just did - type your message in the Quick Reply box and hit Submit Reply. Or are you talking about contacting him directly?

I would replace the flips. I see some water spots and rusty staples.

I copy and pasted your reply. But there should be a button where your reply shows up in a gray box. Otherwise it just looks like I typed both lines out, can't tell the first one was your original post.

Other forums have a "reply with quote" button directly on someone's comment. Is that what you're talking about? Here you have to copy it and put quote tags around it. I think, anyway. [ quote ][ /quote ] without the spaces.

Yep that's it. And yes, this is the first forum of any kind I've seen without a "quote" button. Thanks for the tip jbuck.

Other forums have a "reply with quote" button directly on someone's comment. We intentionally removed it because it's amazing how much laziness it encourages, You end up with posts getting "requoted" so many times the nested quotes are almost frightening and impossible to figure out. |
