I often get asked where the "reply" button is on topics.
Scroll down the topic until you get to the last response, just below this on the right hand side you will find the blue reply button. See the picture below.

If you change your "look and layout" to show the most recent replies at the top, it is easier to see the reply button because it is just above the latest post:

Good to know ;)

Sarah - thank you so much for the thorough explanation of, 'how to reply' and the 'reply button'. It is very helpful as I am new to this website. In fact, this is only my second reply. Seems like a very helpful website and quite possibly I may be able to help others as well. Good Day to you and thanks again. :D

Hi,
As described by Sarah, there is one reply button per Topic.
Not one per individual post.
If you wish to direct a reply to just one of your responders, use their user name ....eg-
Hi sparret.... thank you........etc.
Everyone will see it.
A private message system is availble to those members who have posted several times on the forum.
It is the only means of individual private contact.

I think I'm correct in thinking that you can't reply to a post on the "For Sale / Wanted / Events " board?

Thank you
If you are referring to your post on Frederick North then you can reply to everyone either as one post or separate posts. Normally we would answer on one post.
As you have posted that query on the How to use rootschat board it will not add to your post count.

Yes you can use the "quote" function to make it clear which reply you are responding to

How can you change the "look and layout?" I could find no place on the tool bar to do this. Thank you.

Look and layout?
There are buttons for bold, italic and underlined. You can change the color. You can change the alignment, make lists or tables. There are glow, shadow and marquee options. A diversity of ghastly smirkies is available. What more do you need?

Click on Profile on tool bar. Click on "Modify profile." Scroll down to "Look and layout." Scroll down to make new posts show up first.

Was having exactly the same trouble myself swear I reset the page and still didn't see it, anyway it works so in case this reaches anyone thanks ever so much. I have a historical interest in jesters over at https://www.jesterplanet.com/ (https://www.jesterplanet.com/) and my family has a longtime interest in their genealogy so hope to learn more here.
