Lobo2me Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Probably seems like a silly question (ok, I know there is no such thing), but what is best and easiest way to reply to comments for the person who made the comment to know a reply was made...? Is it best to Reply To This Topic or hit the Quote button...or is that for another purpose? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Quoting makes it clear which post you are replying to, esp. when there is a lot of activity in a thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks But it's generally preferable to edit the quote down to just enough so it's obvious what's being responded to. Lotsa times, quotes will include all the photos as well as the complete text. Entirely unnecessary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum software does collapse the quote though, if it's longer than a certain length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
