Just some suggestions as it seems some have trouble using the quote feature or making it clear who they are responding to when posting on PW.
1) If you use the quote feature, please make sure your reply comes after the [/quote] command. If you don't do that, your reply becomes part of the text you are quoting and makes it very difficult to figure out what you are saying.
2) If you simply use the "Quick Reply" field at the bottom of the page when viewing a thread, PLEASE make it clear who or what post you are replying to, otherwise it just looks as though you are responding to the previous post.
3) Just above the "Quick Reply" field are links which include "Reply to topic". This is my favorite as it allows you to cut and paste comments you are replying to and using the formatting options to distinguish between quotes and what you write.
Thanks for your consideration.
PS. There is also a "preview" button that allows one to actually look at their post and see if it looks OK before actually posting a reply. It's a nice feature that allows you to look at your post and confirm it's readable and how it will look to others.
