[font "Times New Roman"]We encourage the free interchange of posts and replies on BFT…as long as there are no personal attacks, profanity or other inappropriate posts.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]One of the common mistakes made by newbies is to reply to the wrong post. In other words, they see something to which they would like to reply, but they click the “Reply” button on the wrong post and they inadvertently respond to someone else’s post. [/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]The original poster will probably find the post eventually, and figure out that it was meant for them, but it is better to reply to the specific post and the specific BFT member involved. One of the best reasons for doing so is that we have an email notification system that immediately advises each member when they have a reply or a Personal Message…sent to their registered email address. If you accidentally reply to another post, the person to whom you replied will not get that notification.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]Here are the proper steps to follow and buttons to push, in insure that your replies are made correctly.[/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]5. When you are finished composing your reply, click on the “Post Reply” button on the lower left of your screen.[/font]
