how do i reply to a message on forums?

[TimeofSand]

I feel horrible, i want to reply but i dont understand how to. I dont think there is a reply to message under their message. Im not sure if its a tab somewhere to reply or somethingXD

If you are asking for this "Answers" forum, there is no way for reply

To add information, select Options > Edit in the top right corner of your question. Then ALSO press permalink below one of the responses and add a comment saying you added information to your main post. This will cause a notification to be sent out to anyone who have provided an answer to your question.

In this Answers area, click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT to respond or to add more information to your post.  Doing that does not alert people who have repliued to your original question, but it does make your response visible to anyone who opens the thread.

As an alternative, you can click the Permalink on any particular reply to leave a specific message for that person. Anyone who has already subscribed to your thread will be notified that you left a message.  Unfortunately, anyone new who opens the thread will be unaware that you have added information there unless she thinks to open the Permalink and look.

It's a dumb, clumsy system, but it's what we have.  Of course, you can also leave anyone a personal message here by opening their profile (click on the person's name) and selectiong "Leave a Message."   The person will receive your message but, naturally, nobody else will see it.

The only thing you should NOT do is open a completely new thread.  Nobody will have any idea what you are responding to, so we'll either ignore the post or, more likely, be very confused or annoyed by it.

If you want to have a discussion about SL or some issue you should use the "Forums" section of these boards.......you can reply there (though this software is still not as intuitive or natural as real forum software......this is blog software tweaked to resemble a forum).  The intent of LL for "Answers" was to limit discussions so that you can recieve answers...........it doesn't work very well.  But as has been mentioned, it's all we got.  The only workarounds are Options > Edit or the Permalink (neither of which are great).
