Editing a post and replying to one poster's comment

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.

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.
