This is a user issue so if any one can advise on how to post comments please let me know.
I checked my pm's without needing to be told. I preview my comments before posting to reduce width but ... how the heck did I manage to post into a quote?
GrimFinger - my apologies for sabotaging the lake hell journal.
not quite ... your reply is under the quoted comment, as it should be. My reply is within the quote - see lake hell.
the reply window would not open but I don't beleive it is a site issue - it is the user!
