PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"What Order to Post within a Thread?" |
Please help me . . . I'm uninitiated as this is my 1st time posting to a message board. Not only have the moderators (whose volunteered time keeps this site as coherent as possible) helped me along but so have the guidelines, help forums and moderator mailbags. And yet, I still don't quite get the order in which we are to post replies within a thread. Last week, Cyngus chided me for "Maybe -1 Posts?" (LOL) I guess that meant I'd posted in the wrong order? What sd I do when there's a post I'd like to respond to but it's in the middle of a thread? Without always having to quote from it, how sd I reply? Do I hit that poster's reply button or do I just make a post at the end of the thread ? Also, sd I pay attention to the numbers (which are sometimes non-consequetive)? Other than telling me I'm too dense to post, cd someone please explain so I can follow the rules? Many Thanks!

1. "RE: What Order to Post within a Thread?" |
In general this is what I do.If the reply is to the main person who stared the thread, I hit the reply button on the original post. It will then be at the bottom of the thread until others do the same. If I want to reply to someone's comment made on the thread I hit the reply to that post (so it will be indented under their post). I generally only quote a very small part of a post if I want it to be clear what I am responding to (usually not needed as much with this format where replies can be done to specific posts within the thread), and since I don't like the way the board makes the original quote really narrow I usually copy and paste the sentance or two and put in tags for italics to set it off from my words. {i} {/i} except use the [ brackets.
