How to reply to someone else's reply?

If I make start a new thread and someone comments, when I hit reply, it doesn't reply to just that comment, it replies at the bottom in a new thread. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks so much

If you hit quote at the end of their comment it will come up like this. Is that what you mean?

I am testing - Do I write in the title? I thought it would place my reply inside the original person's gray box. It always comes out at the bottom of the thread. Is this correct?

If you hit the "Reply" button at the lower left as shown below, whatever message you write will be appended to THAT thread, it will not start a new thread. As oldsfan notes, if you want to make it clear exactly what you're replying to if it's to a specific comment, first hit the "quote" button on the right side, THEN hit the reply button. The message you're quoting will appear at the top of the text window with "quote" brackets around it. Don't mess with these or the quotation won't show up correctly. Some people inadvertently delete one of the brackets on one side of one of the [quote] markers, and the result is a mess.
