Replying & Quoting Others

There are two replying options;

  • Quick Reply: This option opens a text field on the same page under the post you're replying to where you can type your reply. 
  • Reply: This option will load a new page where you can draft your message, include formatting, quote the post your responding to and attach files.

Depending on what you're looking to respond with, one of these options will be perfect for the job. Here's where you can locate them: 


For quoting; once you've hit reply, you will be taken to a page where you can draft your message and include a quote from that player. The Quote option is in the top right just above the text window (see the image below). Press it and a quote of the post you're replying to will appear in the text box which you can make edits too to help highlight which portion you're referring to in your reply.

Editing Posts & Adding Pictures

Spotted a typo? Remembered more information after pressing Submit? That's ok, we've all been there and needed to edit. The best practice is to get the edit in before it's been replied to as changing information in your post after a reply isn't advised nor fair to other readers so try to get that edit in there asap. 🙂 

To edit your post, click on the three dots of the post and choose Edit Reply like in the image below. This will allow you to edit. 

How to add images/pictures to your posts

It's best to upload your pictures or images directly to Answers HQ as sometimes images can be removed on some third party site.

There are two options to add pictures

  1. Use Attach file at the bottom.
  2. Select the picture icon in the bar and then upload it.

    • Accept as Solution button - If your issue was solved or if a post answers your question or was helpful, please let us and other players know by hitting this button.
    • Me Too button - This is a powerful button. The 'Me Too' button helps us track how many players are also experiencing that issue. Definitely make use of this button.
    • XP button - Say Kudos and help players 'Level Up' by giving them XP for helpful posts. The ‘XP’ button gives experience points to the user who wrote it.
