question about replying to a forum posting

The reply box only appears under the last post of each page. Its basically the same as other forums who have a quick reply option. Unless you need to reply to a certain post with quotes, you just use the box at the bottom.

My . When there is no box, I usually hit reply and a box shows up. Then I type in the reply and hit Post. It usually works for me. Hope that this works for you.

In this case there is a white box for me to type a response. And there is a blue "reply" button when I'm done and ready to post. Sometimes there is no "white box". #1, I'm always logged in. #2 no white box, no way to type before hitting "reply" box. #3 never met an alien to date, still waiting so I can introduce them to Mexican food and save the human race.

fox has the truth of it- at least mine works the same way .

Re: your  #1  Good, you'll never miss anything of modeling importance

                 #2  foxs answer,  also look at the last message in the post , reply box should be there

at least.

                 #3 Perfect, now I can sleep well at  night knowing you're on alert

Well, it could be:

1. you are not logged in to FSM (unlikely but?)
2. you haven't  typed in any thing to "reply with"- that confuses the computer something fierce. 
3. you have been chosen to be a beta tester for an alien technology ( like number 1, unlikely) 

Good Luck hope you get it figured out
