Please help out a confused old man...

When you reply to somebody, especially me, please consider using the "Reply" button in the comment rather than the general comment box at the bottom. That makes it easier to see who is commenting to who (whom?). You can also quote the comment you are replying to, and even edit the quote to make it shorter. That makes it easier to track the conversation.

Thanks. Now, can you tell me what my password is?

@ttyymmnn it's "Password1!"

Thanks. I thought it was "12345." Wait...that's for my luggage.

@ttyymmnn I think we all need to get in this habit in any case. Not sure which is best, but quick reply really only works if you're replying to the very last post.

@ttyymmnn How did you get a thumbnail to load with your post? It appears the button to add one has disappeared.

@ttyymmnn TIL
AHH I see now.
Signed another old man.

@ttyymmnn Yes, it's helpful. You can also turn on notifications for anyone who replies to a post you make, FYI (and also "watch" certain threads, if desired).

It's just moved farther over. Looks like additional tools have been added.

Hmm. I'm working on a TDIAH post right now and it's there. As for the image itself, I find what I want and then crop it square the way I want it. Or, if I want to reference the photo that is in the post, I copy the image and then crop a thumbnail.

I don't see the thumbnail icon now, but maybe because I'm replying and not composing?

jminer added a plug in that gives us way more control over text. We're getting closer!

We're figuring it out. Mobile is fine I'm told. On desktop your screen resolution is the critical factor. The options extend off the side of the form.

You can just pick out the ghost of missing buttons after I hovered over them.

[davesaddiction]

@ttyymmnn Yeah, no thumbnail on reply.

Quoting, at least in part, the post to whom one is replying is standard forum behavior that we should all get used to. Without nested threads, it’s needed to follow conversations. The only time this isn’t important is when you are replying to the OP’s original post.

You have 5 digit locks on your luggage? Faaancy!
