i've got all the buttons now. thanks for the work because it's nice to see what i'm doing instead of clicking around blindly and ending up in the men's dressing room.
Thanks for being so patient with all the questions.
Multi-quote has been around for a bit. Basically, it allows you to select up to 5 posts to quote all at once in a reply. You click the multi-quote button on each post you want quoted, then hit the reply button. All posts should be quoted for you.
There may be a current bug with multi-quotes. Not sure. Think I remember reading about it though...

When I logged in my name and avatar came up. I recoginized other names and avatars. I know where I am, for the time being, anyway. All is right with my computer world.
Excie - it might be that you're waiting too long to edit a post.
As far as the PM function goes, When I hit on the little envelope which is the icon for a PM under a person's avatar, the main screen darkens and a PM window pops up. Something similar happens when I try to PM from a person's profile. Everything is working fine, just looks different.
i have a green plus button that says "click to configure post options" and below that i have "add reply", "preview post" and "cancel"
should i click to configure post options ?
i thought i did that and it got weird. i'll try after i hit reply here
what you are describing (configure post options) is on the screen WHILE you are writing a post. You won't find the button to edit until you post it the first time. That is the way it has always been. someone else already told you where the edit button is , when it is available, after you make the post.... on the right side of your post, under the + and - dots.
thank you all so much for your help. there's still nothing under my post or anyone else's. I think it might be a matter of how my view is. any suggestions?
brainfixed, you're such a sweetheart. you made my day. i'm not sure how many reputations i've ruined besides my own!!!!

Excie - you will never see an Edit button under someone else's post. That would mean that you could edit what someone else says. Why not look at the bottom of your screen and see if there is a horizontal scroll bar (you know - to go side to side) - maybe it's there but off your screen way way way way off to your right.

The upgrade isn't really done yet. Just done enough to allow people in again. This was a major upgrade with software that is really not ready for prime time. There will be issues. If you find any,

Well, it makes sense now.....after looking at my own buttons on my posts....
No need to PM yourself.
And hopefully you're friends with yourself already. :)
But for everyone else, they're there for them to use.

Okay - this is a question and not a complaint.
How is "Multi-quote" supposed to work.
Thanks for being so patient with all the questions.

excathedra, find the + and - buttons, they're red and green on bottom, all a part of this box you type in
Just below those there's a 'multi quote'
to the left of multi quote is 'reply'
to the left of reply is 'edit' and it's got a yellow pencil next to it

Actually, I like the way it works now.
