Not exactly sure what you mean. If you click on "reply" and then click on "quote" in the upper right it will copy what the post you are replying to and then you can continue typing your response to that quote.

But - it still posted a separate post at the end - not within your original post.

Hello @FranandZoe - If I am understanding you correctly and you wish to add to a post you wrote, you can edit your post by clicking on the three gray dots and clicking on Edit Message. This will allow you to add additional comments to your post. Hope this is what you are asking!

Just be aware, @FranandZoe, that if you post a "reply" within your original post, there is less chance of it being seen by other posters. That is, unless you also include a notification within it to the poster who you intend should read it, such as this: @FranandZoe

@FranandZoe, I'm not clear about what you're wanting to do. I don't think you really want your response to be within the original post. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

In my post, you'll see I used the "Quote" feature and then I spaced down a couple of lines to make a clear delineation between your post and my response. As it is, the quoted text has a light gray vertical line to the left of it, to identify it as quoted text and my reply doesn't have the gray vertical line since it's a response. If I placed my cursor within your original post and type there, the end result is that it will look like my response was part of yours -- that makes it very hard to know who said what.

Thanks Eva - that works for editing my own post. But I'm talking about editing or posting within someone else's post.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks! I too could NOT figure this one out. And of course it worked!
