Posting replies to threads w/ the new format

[deb25]

I have noticed some members using only the 'quick reply' option. This automatically quotes the previous post, and is not always needed, especially in Caption This. To post a regular reply, without a quote, click on the little strange looking symbol at the top or the bottom of the thread. It looks to me like 2 people sharing a chair with a little red plus sign on it.

If you are using the vB3 default style, I believe it just says 'reply'.

Deb,

When using Quick Reply do you not have the option of checking or unchecking the "Quote message in reply?" box in the lower left-hand corner. E.g, I left it unchecked with this quick reply and there should be no quote.

Cheers,

James,

My options are a bit different on my desktop, which is an OS9 Mac. You could very well be right. I think the quote function is great, but sometimes it's overused, like when somebody quotes an extremely long post. Makes for a lot of scrolling, and I thought that maybe some didn't quite understand all the ins and outs of the new format. Thanks for the heads-up, though.

Here's how I see the Quick Reply options...

Closest to the middle is Edit. Next is Quote. The one furthest to the right is plain Quick Reply with no quote.

Almost every single one of my posts are using the quick reply button.

I click quick reply, and then I type my message, then I click post.

I haven't had any problems with it quoting things un-necessarily...
