    Use the "Reply with Quote" and the "..." icon.

    Hi guys
    Just a simple tip here.
    If you are replying to a particular post then use the "Reply with Quote" option rather than just "Reply".
    If you use "Reply with Quote" then it's easy to see who you are replying to and your post makes much more sense.
    But if you just use "Reply" then nobody knows who you are replying to and you post lacks context and impact and causes confusion.
    If you want to refer to a few posts then use th "..." and "Reply with Quote"
    Happy posting and enjoy!

    It's a quality of life suggestion regardless of who he is so why does it matter?

    It should not be necessary to "reply with quote" if you are replying to an immediate preceding post, or to the original post, which sets the topic for discussion.

    If you want to reply to another reply out of sequence, just quote the section of it you want to discuss; no need to quote an entire post if it is not all relevant to your reply.

    This is "etiquette" used by many other forums. It can get annoying to get multiple long re-posts followed by very brief replies. It also helps if posters stick to the original topic, and not bring in irrelevant diversions.

    Posts should flow in the same way as a verbal conversation - If someone makes a comment or asks a question, you don't need to repeat that question before replying?

    Still, it’s better to use reply with quote, because by the time you finish typing your post, the preceding post might not be immediately preceding anymore.
