What has happened to the posts below the message box for replies?
It makes it difficult to remember something that was in a post that you are replying to,you could just scroll down and all the replies where there,now they are not.
If I go back to the thread then back to the reply,my reply has gone,or is there now another way to do this?

Martin has done a bit of tweaking with the site, all is revealed in one of the threads on the message board, not quite sure which tho unless i go back to see, i will do in a mo ans post the link for you,

anyway if you find it easier you can click on the quote button to the post your replying to and then either delete the other persons message or leave it in its up to you,after you've typed in your response hope that makes sense.

i think this is the link

The quote idea will only work if you don`t need to see another post as well and if you do need to go back to check something and return to your reply,you lose all the text

you could highlight your text and click copy then if you go back to check something when you come back to reply again just click paste. not ideal but will still work

If you really need to see the text that you wish to reply to you now have to:

Right click on the reply button & select Open link in new window. You will now have to IE's running the first being the thread the second being the Reply webpage, Hope this makes sense?

Or is that what you just said Tony-H :-/

O.K. got it now,not ideal but it does work as long as you remember not to click the back button as against returning the second window to the task bar,otherwise you still lose the text in the reply
