How do I reply to a profile post?

 

[Pacifica]

Click "comment" on the right.

 

[Terry S.]

I don't have that option. Maybe I need to have posted a certain number of times or some similar trick before I get those privileges.

What browser are you using? You seem to have problems with several of the reply functions.

 

[Terry S.]

Outlook Explorer - I think.

Hmm, I've never used Explorer on here. Maybe try Firefox? That one works for me.

I'm trying it with Chrome now, and the 'quote' function is working, but still no 'comment' button on 'profile posts'. What is Firefox?

I've just tried in IE, and although it's a very old version, because I rarely use it, it gives me the Comment feature. So that's not it.

But I'm amazed that anyone is still using IE. I'd recommend Terry to try Firefox or Chrome, if only for the ad blockers. Your internet will be transformed.

Edit: Firefox is another browser, like Chrome. You can download it from https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/

I might stick with Chrome for a bit. Be not amazed. The college I work in doesn't provide the best resources for staff. I have a better computer at home, and that is saying something, coming as it does from a technophobe!

I believe that you have enough posts for conversations and profile posts, but please use Chrome or Firefox (or if you have access to an Apple device, Safari).

 

[Terry S.]

The 'comments' button has now appeared both in Chrome and in Outlook Explorer. I guess the threshold was thirty posts.

I might take a look at this when I get home. I don't want to be hammered for doing something "non-standard" by the in-house IT services department.

You can always ask the IT services department to allow the computers to have Firefox or Chrome installed. You can tell them that Firefox and Chrome are much more secure than Internet Explorer (which is very true).

 

[Etaoin Shrdlu]

In my experience, IT departments that insist on IE are completely impervious to reason.

 

[Terry S.]

Replying to you both, that's about it - impervious to reason. Also, if I make suggestions the reply will be, "You stick to your job and we'll stick to ours!"

You need to make at least 25 posts outside the Games subforum before you can reply to a profile post.
