Revised:

To reply to a message:
Open it.

Click on the icon on top right called "quote".
A new window will open.

Before or after typing your message, highlight and delete the previous poster's message if you so choose, leaving just yours.

Click "submit reply".


To make your message show up:

At the top of the screen click the back button until the message you replied to is there.

The new message you posted will show up when you refesh the page.
To do this, at the top of the screen is a button called either "reload" or "refresh", depending on if you use Netscape or Explorer web browsers.
Click that botton to bring up the new message.
There it is!
To see any new messages that arrived since you opened the board, just reload/refesh again.

Now if you need more help, just holler, OK?

Dear moderator, We have been used to simply typing in the message and clicking on submit. I have noticed that most of us still do that.Because it is easy to post that way, is their any problem wiyj it. Also, it wouid seem like a good idea to not delete the previous message, because, speaking for myself, I would like to read all of the followoups. Maybe these extra steps to post a message have discouraged some people from posting on this board. I don't mean this as criticism, but just trying to simplify te procedure.

Bruce, I am still testing this system. Now, I will try as you suggested above. Maybe it will work for me....LiceN

Hi,
You can highlite then delete the previous message in the message box AFTER you type your answer, if you need to see it.

Deleting it just saves space in a thread of replies. Do what is comfortable to you.
