Hello

[Gil Gaudia]

I am typing things in empty spaces, but am not sure where they are going, who can read them and how I should be doing it.

Your posts are certainly where they should be. May I ask if you're posting on a computer or via a mobile (it helps with troubleshooting in this end)? At the moment you're posting in the forum meant for introductions, in the thread you created. At the bottom, after all published posts, there's this white field where you can type your response. Once you hit the button under the white (now filled with text) field 'Post Reply', you publish your post in the thread you're currently browsing.

Under each post there's a row of four(?) (I as a moderator have seven) buttons. If you press the first one from the left, you can edit your post. The second one brings you instantly to the white field ment for typing a response, with an addition of a quote of the post you're replying to. The next with the thumb is called the 'Kudos button'. If you particularly like someone's post, press this and you show your support for the poster. After that comes the 'Quote button'. This one you want to use when you read through a lot of posts, but unlike the 'Reply button' it doesn't bring you to the reply field, but let's you read all posts in peace, perhaps quote many posts in yours and only when you're ready to type in your reply, you chose to add the quotes to your own post. The last button is for reporting posts that break the rules. When you press it another window pops open. In that window you can type into the tiny white field why you feel that we on the staff should check it out and then you have the option to send the report to us.

Did this clarify matters at all?

This is most helpful. Thank you. I am using a computer, not a "mobile." I do not want to be a nuisance but I am used to "paper" writing and emailing. This scares me because my email inbox is now full of messages from you folks (Not that there's anything wrong with that.).
