Confused

CCC1 — Thu, 06 Aug 2015 00:59:26 GMT

I'm not understanding how this works. When I reply to someone, it still shows up as a separate post. And, what does the arrow next to a thread mean?

You need to hit the quote button to have the previous post included.

You have to hit 'Reply' box in red, then hit the word 'Quote' and your post will appear after their post in the same box.

So it's a 2 parter, hit REPLY in the post you want to reply to, then hit QUOTE.

Reply alone doesn't do it alone.

You appear to be posting fine on your HSN thread. If you want to quote someone, you need to click on that button, space down and then make your reply.

The arrow indicates a thread you have posted on.

Don't feel bad CCC1. I also am confused by this mess that they have made with all the changes. Like I said before, it's a guessing game -- not at all a user-friendly website.... And you know what, I don't like guessing games.. And I don't like being frustrated...

Who would know a thing like that?

Same here! Even though I only browsed, I liked the old forum more so.

If you're using iPad, you can't quote because that feature isn't available.

You can use @ plus the username if you'd like that poster to receive a notification to indicate you mentioned him/her.

I am using the quote function on my iPad3 for this post. When I hit Reply there is a Quote button.

I liked the old forum much better. I think it was so user friendly compared to this...

So, if I want to quote the very first post on this thread, I hit "reply" and then go back to pg. 1 and hit "quote"? How would that work on a thread that is ten pages long? Am I missing something here?

You have to hit the reply button next to the post you are replying to, and when you hit Quote, it will quote that particular post. Each post on the thread has it's own reply button. If you read 10 pages of a thread and want to quote the first post, you have to go back to that post and use that post's reply button in order to quote it.

I feel better, knowing other people are just as confused! This new look is so bland. It's easy to miss things. They need to put some color on it.

You can liven it up by adding color to your message. Click on text color in upper right hand corner!
