Now lets say your reading something, and you want to respond. So in Forum Lingo or Message Board Lingo That is called a
REPLY There are 2 ways to Reply. 1. One is at the top of the Thread ( Where you found New Thread) at the top Left hand corner. It will look like this:
and it will open up the same kind of screen as CREATE A TOPIC, with the smiles on the side and all the fancy gadgets. 2. The Lazy Beaver way. Scroll to the Very bottom of the topic you are wanting to respond to And you will see "THE QUICK REPLY". Which is a blank box, you can type text into. To Practice this Follow the following text, and tell us what the latest gas prices are in your town. - http://www.canadianfreestuff.com/for...e-yours-20683/ __________________________________________________ __________
Now We have a new button

which is found inside everyone's post. Bottom right hand corner of post.
If you like and think the post is helpful, just click on this. And you'll have have thanked them.
ALSO IT HELPS Everyone know which one is a new freebie, when someone isn't bumping Threads 17 pages deep. We all know your excited and are spending hours here filling out forms for free samples, but thanking everyone 3533 is a bit excessive. Only comment on freebie posts if you have something to add. Example Question. Can't find the forum to fill out, Or seems to be USA only, or This is a spam site. We aren't STRICT on thanking, but will delete excessive thank you for posting type posts this includes but not only limits. "Cool freebie", and "hope it comes". Keep the non meaningful Thank you's to 5 per day. #######################################
How do you get all those smiles in posts? like this one?

Well if your starting a New conversation you'll automatically have them on the right hand of your post box.
If you use Quick reply the box at the bottom of every conversation you won't have them. But if you want to
reply using a smile, then you need to go to
Post reply or Use Advanced settings in the Quick Reply field.
Have I confused you? Then please find the Post Reply button, and tell me what it is, and I will try to help.
