I've noticed that a lot of people are posting replies in the wrong places. It seems that a lot of you are replying to the last message in the thread thinking that each reply is a reply to the main topic. This is not true... the message replies can be replies to other replies, hence the topic is "threaded".

The problem is that a lot of people are now used to the flat forums such as phpBB (which is garbage). My forum here (I wrote it) is a traditional thread discussion forum. The big difference between a traditional forum like this on (or Network54) is that you are replying to a specfic message and not to an entire thread. You reply will be indented and appear directly below the message that you are replying to.

So... in order to fix this problem, make sure that you press the [Reply] button that belongs to the actual message that you are replying to, and not the last one in the list.

I hope that this is clear.

Paul.
