Title: How Do I...Reply to a specific message? Post by: SDBoltsFan on May 18, 2010, 12:34:48 PM 1. From within your forum account, select the board and topic you wish to participate in.
*In this example we will use the "Showcase Your Website" board, the "Showcase your website! Part 3>>>" topic, and the specific message will be the very first message by ChipSnyder.* (http://gdiforumpics.ws/replytoaspecificmessage/replytoaspecificmessage-1.jpg) (http://gdiforumpics.ws/replytoaspecificmessage/replytoaspecificmessage-2.jpg) (http://gdiforumpics.ws/replytoaspecificmessage/replytoaspecificmessage-3.jpg) 2. Click the "Quote" button located at the top right corner of the message. This option will include the original posting in your reply so that whoever reads your message gets a better understanding as to what your reply is referring to.
