The Reply-To Feature. Learn it, Use it, Love it. 4

Integrated into the UBBThreads Bulletin Board Software is a useful feature I like to call the Reply-To feature. This feature allows comments in a conversation to be directed to specific members, making for easier communication.
At the top of each reply underneath the Thread title, you will notice it says RE: USER NAME POST NUMBER like so:

Now if you wanted to reply to the same post, you simply click on the reply button (this will open a new page with all of the UBB code options for making a post):

To make a quick reply, hit the quick reply button:
 and it will automatically select the right post from the drop down menu at the bottom of the page in the quick reply box:

or you could just use the drop down menu manually, like so:

It is pretty self explanatory. Use it. Care about something, and use this feature. There is no excuse for it, like spell check.

I think this should be stickied until people start to get the hang of it.

Yeah, man every post I read, I look at who it's in reply to. Sometimes I'm not sure if a certain person just isn't aware who the reply is set on or if they just don't know about it at all. But there are a lot of instances where someone is answering a question or response yet they have the "reply to" set on the default - so it looks like they are addressing someone else. In some cases you just have no idea if someone is specifically speaking to someone or just to everyone in general. if I am addressing a post to anyone who might be reading the thread, I reply to the first post. I love the quick reply button.. i use it 99% of the time.

Actually it just makes it way easier to tell what the hell is going on in threads, and eliminates a lot of misdirected hostility.

Hopefully, this tutorial will help, although there are some who can't be helped.

maybe its just me, but i think this should all come as common sense. in any case, it is a very good feature when used properly.

I've said it twice today; common sense ain't all that common anymore
