    I'm not sure what you mean "not doing it correctly". This post is posted correctly.

    There is a "Commumity Rules" thread on the Admin forum, if that's of any help:

    I guess someone was trying to explain about responding correctly. I did not use quote option. When a bunch of people respond and you want to respond to separately to each responder, or as a group how to do that. I did see information you referenced. I just already had to reply that I was not following proper procedures etc. Thanks so much for your response. -Janice

    Hi, thanks for caring about participating in the best way possible. You obviously know how to create a thread and reply to a message in it. Here are some tips.

    - Your use of the "Reply With Quote" link when you created your post #3 above is one of the best practices of all. Including the message you're responding to - as you did - gives context to your reply for readers who will follow. It also creates an automatic notification so that the next time that person visits the forum he/she will know that you've responded to their message.

    - If you don't want to include the WHOLE of a previous message in your reply you can edit the message text that is automatically pasted into your reply. Just be sure not to disturb the parts at the beginning and end of the text, the parts that are enclosed in square brackets.

    - In rare circumstances where including any part of the previous message will be superfluous, but you want to flag the person you're responding to, you can enter their username preceded by the '@' symbol, as in @jabhoyt. That creates a notification that you've mentioned that person.

    - There are 'Thanks' and 'Like' links at the lower left of each message. Use the links to express appreciation instead of creating a message to just say thanks, or like.

    - Create a 'signature' under your user profile. Include at least your name and which trailer you have, if not a little more information about your setup. That signature text automatically appears at the bottom of every post, so when you ask a question people here know what trailer you're asking about. See mine below. To create yours, click on Settings at upper right, then look for Edit Signature at the left side of the resulting page.

    - Always search the forum before you post with a question. Chances are it has already been answered, and you may find better information in older threads about it than you will get from people who are weary of answering that question again. You can use the search feature at the right under the photo above, but I find that I often get more results using google. Just enter your search terms into google as you normally would, and then add exactly this

    site:mygrandrv.com

    immediately after your search terms before you click Search. Google will search only this site, and will often get you better results.

    - Try to carefully pick the category most suited to your questions / comments rather than posting everything in a general category.

    - The last thing I'll suggest is that you help others by passing this information along to new people when they arrive here.

    Welcome! Hope that this was the information you were looking for, and that this place meets your careful expectations.

    Mark,
    Nice post . Thanks for helping Janet (jabhoyt). I'm working with the admins and moderators on some instructions and tips on membership, signatures, etc. and might incorporate your advice above about good ways to respond to posts.

    Another suggestion about submitting the original post for a topic: Please be specific with the topic's Title. It should clearly identify the topic's subject matter.

    I am not young, but I can't find how to submit a question. I guess there is a place I need to go but I can't find it. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

    What kind of question? About how the forum runs? About a specific model Grand Design? About a problem with (something)?

    On the upper left of each sub forum is a blue shaded oval that has +Post new thread. Select that and the posting page will open. Title the post and continue to the text box and ask away.
