Editing a post and replying to one poster's comment

RainCityWoman — Mon, 22 Jun 2015 20:00:45 GMT

I can't find where we can edit our posts or make an addition. Plus, when I hit reply under a comment, it shows up as a new post, not a reply. What am I doing wrong?

To edit --- click the ... in the top right corner

To quote --- click "reply" and then "quote" in the top right corner.

You aren't doing anything wrong, I think for the time being it's a hit and miss whether edit shows up in the little menu to the right.. check it again..

@RainCityWoman, to edit a post click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the post (the Option menu).

To quote a post, hit REPLY on that particular post and then click on the word QUOTE in the upper right corner above the toolbar. Then, type your comment below the quoted text.

hth!

If you're on an iPad you won't see the blue Quote button when using the reply/post feature as it's not available on the iPad yet.

The three dots in the upper right corner of your post will allow you to edit your post.

There are three little dots in the upper right corner of your post. Click on those to edit. If you are on an iPad, you can't quote.

Click on the three dots in the upper right hand corner of the text box to make a drop down menu appear. Click on edit, and you can fix your post.

When you say reply, do you mean quote? To do that you click on the reply button, then when your text box appears you click on the quote button which is on the outside of the text box on the upper right.

To edit, press the three grey bars at the top right of your post. It will give you that option, among others, including new "delete post."

As far as not being able to quote, if you're using an iPad, join the club! That's one of the kinks they're trying to fix.

Looks like we all posted at once. You got a barrage of help!

I had to do a little test before I answered. You do click on those three dots to edit and edit is always an option but sometimes it's grayed out and since delete and the options are not grayed....the mind just does see edit at the top.

ahhhhhhh. No, it did not work. I thought I had it all figured out! I was able to edit my post and it seemed to work out just fine. That is until I went back and read my post....it wasn't edited at all! You think you are editing, but you aren't. Which means that all those spelling mistakes that I thought I was correct....weren't corrected at all.....lol

@Chrystaltree2, are you typing in the changes and then clicking the word POST?

You're not doing anything wrong...For anyone viewing the forum in the Linear Layout, all the replies are in a "line" as new posts. For anyone viewing the forum in the Topic Layout (I think that's what it's called...), replies will show up under the reply they are posted to. Does that make sense? If you change your view to Topic instead of Linear, hopefully you'll see what I mean.

Well, duh. How could I not see the obvious "quote" in dark lettering. The three dots I didn't notice at all. Thanks DBD and all the other helpful people who answered me. It's all so clear now. BOOYAH!

Hi RainyDayGirl - did you see my post to you about your email account? I have one that is on hot mail from you - do you still use that?

Thanks BPT for this information. I had been wondering how to quote, now I know how!!

[However, it didn't work for me. I'll try again in another post]

Thanks everyone. I could not get this to work for me either. Hopefully now I can "MAYBE" figure out how to do this? Why did they have to fix this issue? It wasn't broken.
