    Posting Basics

    If you are new to SimplyDiscus and are wondering how to interact with other members there are two ways; either replying to an existing thread of interest or creating a new thread.

    To reply to an existing thread click on the thread and scroll to the bottom of the thread. You will see a box titled "Quick Reply". Please your mouse cursor (or finger on a cell phone) in the box and click in the box. Now you can type your reply in the box and once you are finished simply click on the "Post Quick Reply" button and your post will appear in the thread. There is a small amount of time where you can edit your post if needed. Simply select the "Edit Post" button, make your correction and save it using the "Save" button. If no edits are made then click on the "Cancel" button.

    If you wish to quote an existing post simply select "Reply With Quote" under the post you wish to reply too.

    If you wish to create a new thread first select "Forum" at the top of the window. Click on the subforum you wish to create a post in. At the top of the window you will see a button titled "+Create New Thread" on the left side side. Click on that button and you will be represented with a window where you can enter the title of the thread and the post you wish to enter. Once you have done both post the new thread by clicking the button "Submit New Thread". The new thread will appear at the top of the subforum you wished to post to.

        If you click on reply or reply with quote, look at the icons in the upper right. The 3 from the right (looks like a picture frame) click on that and an “insert Image” tabs appears and you’ll see 2 tabs: From Computer, From URL. Click on the one you want. Choose file and upload. Hope that helps.
