not that i'm venting about it, just wondering if others find it odd...and i know how some of you think...i bet a few of you will "reply" to this instead of hitting "new reply." http://www.beckett.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif
I just hit the reply button. It quotes the post that you hit reply on. Like if I wanted to refer to something in your post which is now 9 posts up or whatever.
If I hit new reply at the bottom it doesnt quote any of other posts that you may want to reference in your reply.
Its actually quite common in forums. Atleast in the technical forums I am a member of. Its just the preference of the poster. Its all good.

Why do people post links to smilies? Seems like a lot of work. Why not just post
or something similar(especially since I don't know how to do it the other way)
Looking to SELL ONLY at the moment. Prices in my org are completely negotiable...I just set random prices for the most part. Pm me

I'm at work, so "enjoying it" would be a stretch ... but thanks though!
