(I’m hoping this first comment gets edited out when support reviews this)
I had a hard time figuring out how to reply, so I’m passing “this trial and error lesson” on so we all can help each other out now.
If you push the obvious button: the obvious Blue “Reply” button. Nothing happens. Instead push the arrow next to the “Reply” portion, where a drop down offering “Flag” or “Copy Link Location” If you want to flag what you read for the Admins to do something about it because you disagree with the above posting for one of the chosen reasons, then do so. But if you want to really reply, then Chose the “Copy link location” option. This puts a full url to the discussion topic in your clipboard. Simply open another tab in your browser and Paste, then Enter or choose: “Paste and go to …” in that new tab. The tab will open with the Topic you are in followed by a typing box. That’s all there is to it.
If you find this helpful, then as you find other ways to navigate this bulletin board, then lets start new Discussion on something like “How to Navigate the Bulletin Board” and add a collection of useful hints to it in an easily recognized section posted to the right on the main page.
