I use the 'post reply' button most of the time. Can I safely assume that's still OK? . |

Using the 'post reply' button is fine, Amy. Many users prefer the 'quote function' because they want to see the previous post while composing their response. The 'post reply' and 'answer' don't let you see the previous post. That's why the 'quick reply' window is a good alternative since you don't even have to click on any buttons to write your text. _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

<<However, this results and many repeated sentences that clutter up your screens. >>
Is that English, Torsten?
<<That's why the 'quick reply' window is a good alternative since you don't even have to click on any buttons to write your text.>>
And how do we then indicate which are our words and which are quoted? |

This is what you usually do. You copy entire posts using the quote function even if those messages consist of one single sentence. Why repeat what has already been said? _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

If one wants to refer to a part of what was said, one may need to quote. |

That's fine. I was referring to the fact that you usually use the quote function for any of your replies. _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |
