Sorry for the weird, random notification W_E, I was trying to see if there’s a way to reply to a post in a past-tense dormant thread, but have it appear as a reply in a present-tense ongoing thread.
I believe your instructions above would work well if I was wanting to reply to a a post in a past-tense dormant thread, and start my own brand new thread - but that’s actually what I’m trying to avoid.
So what I did here is start a quote-reply of your post in the past-tense thread, copy the html code that pops up in the box, and then I navigated here to ATMB and pasted that html code into a brand new reply box.
ETA : Damn, looks like it worked. I’m reminded now of the story about the broken clock.
