Donating YT 500 Club Member | Do you "reply" up or down? When I receive a private message and reply I am uncertain if there is a correct position for my reply? Do you reply at the bottom of the PM received, or do you post your reply at the top of the PM received. It probably doesn't make much difference, but I've never known if there is a correct way? I used to reply at the bottom but would get a reply then at the top. It was confusing with my replies at the bottom, the other person's at the top. So....what's your preference....are you a topper, or a bottomer?

| LOL! That is funny as I have been wondering that too. I think I do both and that can get confusing when in a very long exchange. I "think" replying at the bottom would be more like the forum as a quoted reply will come after the quote. But, I have seen so many reply at the top, I sort of started doing that. Maybe I will see what the general consensus is and try to stick with that way. Good question!

| I always post on the bottom. I generally "make" a space by hitting the space bar a couple of times then begin typing? I don't know if this is right or wrong, but this is what I do.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | lol....it's good I'm not the only one confused, Debra. I know it's not a important question but one that I've wondered too, about for some time and thought....it's time to ask. I used to reply at the bottom, because it seemed to make sense but then I would get so many the other way, I thought....I've been doing this wrong.

I don't think there is a right or wrong way, just what you become used to doing. I did the same as you, hit the space bar a couple of times then replied. Replying from the top takes an extra step doesn't it?

Thor's Human Donating Member | I like the top. I hadn't really thought about it, but it's probably because that's what I'm used to with email. It certainly can get confusing after a few messages.

| Top. I thought that way the reader wouldn't have to scroll all the way through?

| If it is a short message I reply underneath- if it is long I reply on the top so that the person doesn't have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to read the reply. And if I am lazy, I may not follow these rules at all |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Good thread! I always reply to the top of the PM. I like receiving them that way, too. When you open it, you can read the response first, instead of scrolling all over trying to find it. Some people respond with a new PM, where the old one is not shown. I guess that is another way around it, but I would be scared I would not answer all of the questions/address the senders message fully. |

| hmmm. I think I reply at the top most times, but if the messages back and forth have gotten to cumbersome I just highlight/delete the whole thing and start typing.
