A few of you post, showing two or more previous posts that you are responding to. I haven't figured out how to do that. Please share.

You should see a reply button, well it's not really a button more like a word you click, and it pastes in the quote into the text box where you type your message. It should be on the right hand side right next to where it says Like which is also a button to like a post.

You click on reply on the first post, then click on reply on the second post, and so on...
Then you insert your reply after the quotes...

Hoops is correct. If you look at a post anyone made, over on the right is a light blue hyper link. One says "Like" and one "Reply". If you click on "Reply", it pulls the original posters info down into your post. You can also click reply on several posts and get more conversations in if you like.

I think it's the "two or more" about which Cabby is inquiring.

1. Compose a reply to the first post in the usual manner, stopping when you're ready for the second quote.

2. Open the Boneyard in a new tab or window and hit the reply button to the other post that you want to quote.

3. But instead of replying there, copy the quote information and paste it in your original composition box under your reply to the first quote.

4. Then proceed with your reply to the second quote.

Yep, clicking the Reply link in each post in a thread just stacks them up in the Reply box at the bottom of the page. Then you can add spaces between each quoted comment you clicked Reply to, and add your own responses to them.....

It gets tricky when you are viewing a thread over several pages, and if you find that you want to reply to several posts over several pages, JS suggestion is the one I would use (and have used).
