Replying to Comments

[Lobo2me]

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

Quoting makes it clear which post you are replying to, esp. when there is a lot of activity in a thread.

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.

True, it good to cut down to the essential.  The forum software does collapse the quote though, if it's longer than a certain length.
