ez guide reply button

Don't use the wrong posters REPLY BUTTON.

If you reply to the wrong button, they may be sent an email, from IMDB. (Yes, IMDB will send you an email, if you set your account to do so. How to get IMDB to send you emails http://tinyurl.com/2xc8rp)

Remember to click the proper Reply Button. It causes havoc, with Nesting Threads, when you reply to the wrong button. (experiment with threads and use the 4 types-----thread-flat-inline-nest-----. You'll catch on, even I got the hang of it.)



If you want to reply to JohnDoe31, then find his post and hit his reply button. It will be located on his post. Don't use the bottom posters reply button. Unless you wanted to reply to the bottom poster.


Flat will have the oldest posts at the top and will be in descending order.

Nest will have the post in an easier method, to see who is replying to who. You reply to JohnDoe31 and your post will be right below JohnDoe31 post. If 4 posters are chatting with him, your post will be the 5th post below his. It can be a bit tricky to understand at first, but practice looking at the different thread methods.

You might notice that DarthVader31 is chatting with two posters. You will notice that their posts are under DarthVader31 post. It makes it much easier to follow coversations. Some people are stubborn and stick with Flat. I'm a flat myself, but sometimes I will use the Nest method.

Experiment and see which one you like the best.
