For the forum experts, there are two questions that I should probably know the answer to, but don't:
1. How do you "tag" someone's post?
2. What are the up and down arrows that show up on each post now?
Thanks!

Easy answers Laura_in_FL, 1. 2 ways... 1 put an @ before their name, or if you look at the little buttons by the smilie button you will see one with the @ and a person beside it, click on it and it will help. 2. it's supposed to help with going from top to bottom... I hope it's working for you?

Laura_in_FL another couple of notes for tagging a person in a post, you can place your cursor on a person's name anywhere that it is a link and see the @ username (without the space). With the cursor on the name, you can hit Alt and left click and the tag will be placed in Quick Reply, or Reply if you have already started a reply. You have to use the person's username, not their display name. So to tag you I used @ linfl (without the space), not @ Laura_in_FL.

izitmidnight When you tag someone in a post, like I tagged you here and Laura_in_FL above, they will receive a notice in their profile that they have been tagged. This is a way of getting a specific person to notice a post.

Thanks for the explanations, DLD and Tressa!
And yes, the arrows do work for me.

Laura_in_FL bestofour Tressa izitmidnight, just so everyone knows I have added a simple tagging plug-in to the forum, you will see it when you reply to a thread, just click on the persons name you want to tag or tag everyone... lol. Just remember, in the tag it will show their username and not their display name like Tressa has pointed out in the above thread...

I don't have an empty reply window anymore. I think it was called the Quick Reply box. I have to click on Reply then I get a Create Post window. Has it always been this way or is something wrong with my computer?
