This is aimed at A Christian. This (to him) has also been previously addressed (in the same topic, no less). See http://EvC Forum: Two types of REPLY buttons -->EvC Forum: Two types of REPLY buttons, which leads back to http://EvC Forum: homosexuality and the Bible -->EvC Forum: homosexuality and the Bible.
Now, more recently, from A Christian, from http://EvC Forum: homosexuality and the Bible -->EvC Forum: homosexuality and the Bible

Bashing only seems to count if it is against homosexuals. I'm
not impressed with your view of freedom of speech. I at least
love the sinner while hating the sin.
The same isn't at all apparent towards Christians who hold the
Word of GOD as TRUTH. Sorry, you're so narrow minded.
At the bottom of this message, it is noted as being a reply to :ae:.
AC, do you need a suspension, to get your attention?

I don't think there can be any excuses for replying to the wrong messages if you have a look at these instructions.
Some people process pictures easier than they process words, so you have been given the best of both worlds.

Hi Brian,
How easy/hard is it for you to do this? We could use a forum guide structured like this.

HI,
It was very easy, only took 5 minutes tops.
If you would like me to design a guide along the same lines then I'd be happy to.
If you want to mail me with a rough outline of what you would like, I could construct the guide and post them back to you for your approval.
Brian

This time it's for Newborn
Newborn -
Your message at http://EvC Forum: Genesis 1 interpretation -->EvC Forum: Genesis 1 interpretation was a reply to Parasomnium, but you posted it as a reply to the then most recent message, which was from Doctrbill. This resulted in a somewhat cranky (and rightfully so) response from Doctrbill, in the following message there.
For the sake of forum organization etc., PLEASE try to use the reply button at the bottom of the message you are replying to, and not the one at the bottom of the most recent message at the topic.
Of course, if you are making a general reply to no one in particular, use the big "Post Reply" button at the very bottom of the topic page.
Cheers,
Adminnemooseus

Why not remove generic reply?
Why not remove the big 'Post Reply' message altogether? I see now functional reason for it, since any reply should either be in response to the topic opener or a subsequent response shouldn't all messages be a reply to something? Otherwise they'd be off-topic.

Re: Why not remove generic reply?
Note to self: Somehow address the issue with the big "Post Reply" button.

It may be just problems with my browser, but I am only getting a 'missing picture' x-box in the core of your post (#2 of 7).
When I checked the source of this page, I found the picture refereced this url: "http://www.lyingforgod.org/reply.jpg" which is dead.
The domain is not even currently registered.
Could this be rectified, since it seems to be pertinant to this help-on-replying topic?
Thanks
