Ursa, what is my thread?

If I understand your question correctly ... A thread is a topic in this forum. For instance, you have just started a thread, it can stay on this topic, or sometimes it gets carried away and goes off on a topic all it's own Some of them can really be fun ... some very informative, and some just give support. All are very important to keeping this forum alive and well.

Bm,

This is a thread, and you started it. The topic is "don't know what a thread is".

Well, now that I am replying to your post, it is starting to become a thread. A thread is an original first post, and the answers you get to it.

And you are not stupid, I am just so used to being in a forum that I forgot that newbies may not understand the terminology.

You again replied to somebody's post with only a quote. If you click on reply right on the post, you will quote the post in your reply. But you need to also add your own comments after doing that!

You don't need to quote the post you're replying to, of course. Click on 'ADDREPLY' below the box you're replying to, and you will then only have in it what you write.

You can also just quote part of the other post, but deleting the parts you don't want.

I am sure you'll be a pro in no time at all. Keep trying and you'll get it right eventually.

UM,

Well what do you know, you just taught me something. I wasn't aware of the addreply feature. I always just clicked on reply, then either right click, select all & delete, or edit the quote. Thanks bunches.
