Thanks, auth! I suspect that not everyone actually looks at their own posts after they have appeared on the website, so some of those who don't click on the dots before they hit send may be unaware that their comments are appearing in a complete vacuum. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: Yup, you're right. Jeez, talk about unintuitive! The three dots aren't just so you know what the other guy said when you're replying, they're so it'll show up in your post and the folks who read it will know as well. A person very well might not click the three dots, simply because they don't need to review what the other guy said. But everybody should do that whether they need to or not, so other people can see what they're responding to. Good work, Feste. I'd never have guessed.

That wasn't what I meant. If I don't click on those three dots at the bottom of the reply box, when my post shows up on the website, there is nothing there except what I have written -- no indication of what I am replying to. But If I click on those dots before sending, the post when it shows up will show "show message history," below my message, and if someone clicks on that, it shows what I am replying to. If there is a better way, let me know. People seem to be approaching this in different ways (or not at all), and it may be different according to what browser you use. I don't know. Neo certainly gives little help about it. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: No, you see, I'm talking about quoting what you're replying to so that when folks read your post, they can see the quote.
