How to reply to specific post

Probably a dumb question with a simple answer but ...
I was recently very confused until I found I was using "Sort Messages by Threading" as opposed to "Oldest to Newest". However it raises a question:
When I view a thread, there is only one "Reply" link that I see in the top left of the page showing multiple posts in a thread.
So, how do I know what post I'm replying to when I hit that Reply link?
Thanks in advance,
Ian

Ian W -
The reply button at the top of the page (the blue one) will reply to the original message in the thread.
The reply buttons on each message (the black ones) will reply to that particular message.
For example, if a thread has this structure:
Question
-Reply 1
--Reply A to Reply 1
--Reply B to Reply 1
---Reply x to Reply B
-Reply 2
The blue reply button at the top of the page will add a
-Reply 3
to the very end of the thread.
The black reply buttons at the top of each message will reply to that particular message. That is how Reply A, Reply B, and Reply x were created in the example above.
Hope that helps. If the threading view isn't the easiest way for you to view the messages, then feel free to change your settings to "Oldest to Newest" or "Newest to Oldest" to best fit your needs.
Thanks!

How to reply to a post

How do you reply to a post? I posted a question and have two responses and I don't see a reply button. Thank you.

You have to be logged in to the forum to see the reply button.

Replying to a post

I am afraid that I cannot work out how to reply to a post? I would like to thank someone for their help and I cannot work out how to!

When you read another's post, you should see "Reply" in bold letters in the lower right corner. Here is how your post looks on my screen:
I clicked "reply" to right this answer.
If this is not showing up, it could be due to the system maintenance last weekend. Many of us noticed glitches that cleared up when we emptied our Safari cache:

Can't reply to the post about my not being able to reply

I had a problem with the reply button not working after I tried to reply to a solution to an earlier posted question about Final Cut 7.
I got an excellent reply from ChitlinsCC describing the problem with possible solutions, basically adding automatic reloading tabs to my browser, Safari or Firefox. Unfortunately the downloads led to deadends although I appreciated the description of the problem. I wanted to offer my reply, made within two minutes of receiving notification in my Mac Mail. Unfortunately there was no reply button when I clicked on the link to take me to the forum. However, I did log on to the forum all over again to reply to Chitlins only to discover that the reply button once again had no effect.
Is this happening to anyone else or is this just a case of my astrological good will being mucked up by that spaceship that landed on the comet. :-)
Any ideas about how to reply to a post?
And in any case, this is my attempt to thank ChitlinsCC for the help even though the solution appears to be beyond the browser add-ons that didn't seem to work. :-)

wasn't ME the thread was broken for, but the OP of this one (#2 continuation)
broken = Cannot post - User ' ' is banned from posting. -- it was about asafhan (or whatever the name is)... remember, only broken for user 'CBFilms'
I do not know what efforts CBFilms made to solve the issue, BUT it has happened to me as a replier on at least two others. It is clearly associated with the user AppleID.
Another anomaly recently is 'disappearing posts' - one gets an email notice, navigates to reply, shows the post as "last post" at the top, but no post present. I have had this twice today. And yes, not being my first rodeo, I tried all clearing, restarting, etc. - still no joy. As a Guest, post is present, as ME, it is gone. The solution I found is to post any reply to any other post and voila!... missing post magically appears! I think the JiveCoders have fixed some things and inadvertently caused some new ones. As a coder from way back, it is not uncommon for that to happen.
I, like bob, have come to the conclusion that we are stuck with a system so 'seasoned to Apple's taste' that it will never work completely right. JiveSoftware provides enterprise community solution to lots of big outfits, in a much more robust way (the way it was designed) - as we are not privy to their communities, we'll never be able to compare.

For the past week or so I no longer see the toolbar in the Comcast Help Forums to reply to a post made in that forum. Has there been a change made to my iPad 3 settings and how to fix it?

Has something changed in the iPad 3? I Go to the Comcast Help Forums daily as a Volunteer Moderator and for the past week or so when I open a post in the Forum and attempt to reply to the post, ai no longer have a toolbar which contains different options that should be
available to me. Such as quote, font. Font size, inserting a link or image,etc.
Now- I do not have a toolbar at all! I already contacted Lithium who is the company that creates and maintains the Comcat Help F or umps.
What has happened and how do I resolve this? I would not be at all happy if Apple has done something that is now preventing me access.
I use my iPsd 3 daily for monitoring and helping in the Comcast Help Forums.
Thank you,
CCC.

If this is what you are used to seeing in the Comcast forum, you need a browser that can identify as a desktop browser. Safari does not do this. I am using iCab Mobile and this is what the forum looks like when I sign in.

Can't find "Quote Original" button for Reply to a Post

When I went to reply to a post I wanted to use the same quoting format that I saw others had used. So I went to "Help & Terms of Use" to learn how to do this. The info given is: "If you want to quote specific text from the original message, click Quote Original to add all the text from the original message to the Message box." I could see no such button. So I replied without using the desired format and at the same time asked the person I was replying to about this. That person's reply back was: There's a '"' icon in the compose window when you type a reply. If I'm doing a lot of quotes (as I did here) I use that, then edit out the bits I don't want. Otherwise I copy and paste the text and add a > before the line to get it to appear in the special format.
I'm still mystified! I see no such button, icon or anything about "Quote Original" in the "Reply", "Compose" window. I also tried adding a > before the line, but nothing happened.
I was originally attempting this using the Firefox browser. To make sure the problem was not a Firefox glitch, I switched to Safari, with the same result.
How is "Quote Original" done? Where is that button?
Thanks in advance

Thanks, Limnos (again!!). I wonder why the Help info doesn't just say what you now did. .... Click on the " in the formatting panel just above the compose window (rather than click on "Quote Original").
I do though feel a little stupid for not having clicked on everything that could possibly be clicked on. I'm now wondering what I was thinking those " marks could possibly be for since I do have the " key on my keyboard if I want to quote a phrase that I'm typing. I just was thinking that all those formatting items are for the typing of my reply and I didn't hold my cursor over each for the info box to appear. Oh well, thankfully, all my present posts are now solved. Thanks to you again Limnos.

ZOMG PLEASE HELP! - ColorMatrixFilter - How to set a SPECIFIC HLS to a greyscale png

I am able to use the color matrix filter to change the pngs
that I am loading dynamicly. Thing is, I can't seem to figure out
how to apply a SPECIFIC hue, saturation and luminance.
Basically I can successfully modify my grey scale png to all
sorts of colors already. I need to be able to colorize them with,
for example I would in photoshop put in H:212 S:36 L:-48 and it
would turn out a great blue... how do I turn those numbers in to
the proper color matrix to be applied?
I have done a good bit of research on hls/rgb and also tried
using this adobe sample app to put in numbers similar to above,
expecting to get a matrix that would apply those transformations.
Using the resultant matrix, the image stays at a very low
saturation even when using positive luminance values. I could guess
at it, but I have a bunch of PMS colors I am going to have to
match... SO at least being able to convert HLS or RGB into an
applicable color matrix with predictable results is needed.
Here is a sample of what I am trying to do, but just using
CSS and JavaScript.
http://www.customtiedye.com/colors.htm
- Since it is using pngs you can't use internet explorer to view it
properly. But even if you have only ie, you can see that changing
the selection in the lower drop down box shows you a different
color of the shirt. All of these images were colorized in photoshop
from the same source image I am using in the flash application. I
need to translate the HLS numbers I used in photoshop into
colormatrices to apply to the same image.
Here is what I have so far for the flash application.
http://www.customtiedye.com/dyeshop.html
- If you don't see the flash app, try in IE, I have not bothered
tweakin anything as far as html because I am stuck at this issue.
The buttons are not marked right, start at the top and go
down, you'll see what I mean. I can apply the color matrixes and
the effect is working, but HOW DO I GET THE SPECIFIC MATRICIES FOR
SPECIFIC COLORS?
Please help :o) Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I've seen every example out there I
believe. From satori color to quasimondo. The problem is not making
it work. The problem is how to make it show an exact color.
How do I use colormatrix to colorize a greyscale image to a
SPECIFIC color. It's a great tool and I can change my greyscales to
all sorts of colors, but how do I make them a SPECIFIC color, like
with setrgb I could just set the rgb, if I have hls values how do I
convert that into a useable colormatrix to modify a greyscale.
For instance: (please read)
In photoshop I would adjust hls and put in say: 212/60/60 for
a nice blue, apply it and my grey scale is now a nice blue.
In flash, how do I use that info to change the grey scale
image to the same color?

How to set a specific width to all the TextInputs used in a mxml file on its creation complete?

How to set a specific width to all the TextInputs used in a mxml file on its creation complete?

Hi subhajit nag,
I think the best approach would what I say is if you can make use of a Global variable or using a Singleton class having a variable which can be accessed globally through out the application.
Below is the sample what I am talking to:
So in below example you can access the variables textInputWidth and textInputHeight globally throghout the application since you have decalred them in main mxml file.
You can access these variabled in another mxml file as Application.application.textInputWidth and Application.application.textInputHeight. So if at all you are required to modify these values you are only required to modify at a single place in main mxml file..thats it.
If you are use any Singleton classes like ModelLocator you can place these variables in this class and refer from that class.
Hope this resoved your problem..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]private var textInputWidth:int = 250;
[Bindable]private var textInputHeight:int = 25;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Canvas id="canvas1">
<mx:TextInput id="txt1" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Canvas id="canvas2">
<mx:TextInput id="txt2" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Canvas id="canvas3">
<mx:TextInput id="txt3" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:TextInput id="txt4" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
<mx:TextInput id="txt5" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
</mx:Application>

This post of mine might be too complex for the Java -> Java Essentials -> New to Java forum:
packages and JAR files
Perhaps it would be better placed in the Java -> Development Tools -> General Questions forum (?):

Is there a better forum?I have not knowledge on this area, I cannot say. It's up to you to decide and I can move it, or wait for an other moderator who know better this domain.
