 The quotes are poorly formatted and make it hard to quickly distinguish what was quoted and what the actual reponse is. It's been done much better on other online fora.

I just "quoted" BiggLala on her reply, and now I see more clearly what you mean, too. There's not much to show a difference between what she said and I said. Let's see how this looks.

 I thought "respond" was only available to gold members? Maybe they've changed that since I last tried it.

I tend to use the quote function.

Ok! Thanks! This clarifies things a little bit. I guess there's not a "right" way or a "wrong" way, then.

So, one thing I've noticed is that there's a link for "Where I'm quoted." I actually started using that recently to see if anyone replied to a reply that I made on their blog.

Is there a way to do the same thing with "replies?"

Ah thanks. Whenever I tried Respond on my own blog, it never worked so got into the habit of using quote. It was maybe my browser settings which prevented the pop up from popping up.

Maybe I shouldn't give them ideas though - limit respond to gold members only.

Yeah, careful with that. They're running out of things to limit the standard members on...

Blogs are probably next!

Yeah, I think that's actually a kind of useful function, actually.
