Then I will press the 'add reply' button underneath where I am typing. Welcome here Picablu Hi fireryone. Thank you for the welcome and the information you provided. I think I'm replying to your reply now. Also think I somewhat understand the difference between REPLY and FAST REPLY. I see you are from Australia. I'm a 73 years old grandma who used to run home from school to sit in front of a big box radio and listen to my favorite kid programs. Now I'm retired, sitting in my den, trying to get used to a new laptop with VISTA instead of the XP I'm used to, and learning to post with someone in Australia. AMAZING!

Moderators hazelnut Posted September 3, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 3, 2009 Picablu when you press reply to quote a post and then write something as well (like you did in the post above) the reply button you press is just below the post not the one above it . That is why you have quoted me instead of fireryone.
