Hi all, I know we are all trying hard to get used to this new site and many of us are getting frustrated. So thought I would pop on with one useful piece of advice for anyone who doesn’t know!
I have seen many people ask, How do I reply to a post/chat?
Well there are two ways! The first is when you wish to reply to an actual person. If this is what you want to do then just hit the reply button under their last post and once you post it will say, LondonLass replied too (whoever)!
BUT
Sometimes we just want to chat to the group and not reply to just the one person although of course everyone can still read those posts! However to post to the ‘group/chat’ you go to the top of the page and press reply under the very first message! This message will be the one that was written by the original poster.
However when you reply to it this way your reply will go to the bottom of the conversation and say Your name and that’s all. So you are posting for all to read and not to a specific person!
I hope that makes sense and doesn’t confuse people even more!
Keep trying everyone. I know people are having many issues with this new site, but slowly we will all get used to it and hopefully the issues will be ironed out!
Sending Best Wishes to all. Sal xx
Hi Sal
Thanks very much for taking the time to put 'how to reply' in an easy to understand way. I've highlighted your post to 'admin' in case they want to put something similar in the Help page.
