Right. Now i've picked out Jonathan's post about there is no 'reply to thread' option from the hybrid view, so i should be replying to that as it is the only one in my browser.
I have '+Reply to Thread' in the bottom left-hand side highlighted in blue. I thought this meant that i would be replying to the main post in the thread, however it functions exactly the same as the 'reply' button - it replies as Shewie says to the last post in the thread.
I have clicked on the 'reply' button. Now i am going to 'post quick reply' which should post this reply in the hybrid view directly to Jonathan's post.
How are you picking out one post ? What's this hybrid view ??
"+Reply to thread" is the same as "Reply" under each post, you can't reply to an individual post unless you quote it, which I think you've sussed out now.
"Post Quick Reply" just submits whatever you've written in the Quick Reply box, if you choose Go Advanced then you get the same edit options as if you'd hit Reply/Reply to thread.
If you want to post directly to Jonathans post you need to use the Reply with Quote button under his post.
Just gonna hit Post Quick Reply now
