P;3 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 twiddle do detestSHOULD appear as a separate entryand doesnt; why not"I've been asked this a few times now, so maybe it is time to post a topic about it! "How do I post a new topic/reply to a topic?"That's easy. There are actually three ways to reply. Quick Reply, New Reply, and Quote.Quick Reply - Open the topic you wish to reply to. Scroll down the the bottom of the thread (all the posts), and click "Quick Reply". This will open the "Fast Reply" dialog box. You can type your message, or "Show Smilies Pop Up Window" for smilies and emoticons. You can also enable e-mail notification of replies which will send an e-mail to the registered e-mail for the user with a notice of a new reply. Try it! New Reply - Right beside the "Quick Reply", this feature gives you a few more options, as well as some bbcode options. I suggest using this method until you are comfortable with smilies and bbcode. For example"no, aint happening , still a part of the one psot and should not be :mad:should be completely separate entryI hae just clicked "new reply" ; but it still just goes in the original posting; anyone tell me what I am doing not right please?why wont it post as a reply to my thread and not just as a constant addition?twiddle do detestSHOULD appear as a separate entryand doesnt; why not"I've been asked this a few times now, so maybe it is time to post a topic about it!

Chris Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 The moral of the notification system is to ignore it as it seems it wants to spit its dummy out now and again.It would be far more easier to just keep visiting the forum EVERY day to see whats new etc :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyWhirly Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 It would be far easier to just keep visiting the forum EVERY day to see whats new etcI have found this to be the best way as it isn't just with WF as I have also had the e-mail thread notification problem with other forums as well.It seems to be quite a common problem with forums well that's my experience anyway.
