for the very beginners i made two pictures to show
how a message can be posted on the board.first you go to the topic where you want to post. on top of the page and in the bottom on the left side there's a button "
post reply" (shown with red arrow). click on it with the left mouse-button.

the "
post reply" window opens. here below is a picture of it.

you can modify font by first selecting text and then clicking on
B for
bold-face,
i for
italic,
u for
underlining. you can change font size from
tiny to
small to
large and even
HUGE (on the right-top; by changing the number you get even more sizes), or colour (on the right side; outside the picture area above). the other way is to first click on for example
B and the typing between the brackets. you can always have a look what your text will look like by pressing the "Preview"-button which is below the white text-box.
you will see how things work when you try and play around with things.
even after posting you can still edit your post if you see that there is still something that you wish to change. Edit- and Quote-buttons are on the lower-right corner of the post. i see that you have already found the function of the Quote-button.
two more important buttons are
Img and
youtube . these may seem rather distant in the beginning but sooner or later members will want to post pictures and videos, too.

. with these buttons pictures and videos can be added in a post. you'll find help for these things in the Technical questions-thread which is near the top of the board index page.
i hope this will help new members to begin posting. and don't worry about language. for most of us English is a foreign language and still we get along.
