How do all these buttons work? There is a quote key that goes on or off next to the reply key, sometimes my quotes work but it never seems to work the same way twice. They sorta remind me of the heater controls in my 914....

Is there an instruction manual anywhere? I checked the FAQ page and didn't see anything on it.

What is the "Guided mode" stuff? Computer challenged minds want to know.

hit the quote button before you reply to quote something
fast reply means you won't have smilie options presented to you
new topic means you will be starting a new thread
top means it will take you to the top of the page
pm, means you can send someone a pm
edit allows you to edit your post
no wonder you're a realtor.

It's not rocket science Mikey. Give it a whirl. Poke a few buttons and try them out. See what happens. 's only a web board.

I fear change....

This is a test. I did it with the guided mode off just because that's how I roll. Hell, I didn't even check the post length. I am a madman behind the keyboard! Oh yeah, I didn't preview it either.

Mikey took to heart the famous quote "Better to be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth (or reply with keyboard) and remove all doubt"

maybe you just need to learn how to use the new "features" ...

the "quote" button is now simply a switch for you to either include a quote in a reply or not. if the "quote" button has a + sign next to it, you will quote the message. click the quote button once, the + goes away, no qoute added ...

it's a toggle switch for the "reply" button so the "reply" button knows if you want to include quotes or not.

by default, all "quote" buttons have the + so by simply hitting the reply button, you will always include the quote ...

once you get the hang of it, it's still a "one click" operation to reply & quote ...
