There are two types of "reply" buttons.
1)The small "reply" button, at the bottom of individual messages. This is best used if you are replying to a specific message. This results in "This message is a reply to:" and "Replies to this message:" messages at the appropriate places. This also activates the "Replies Await" function at the appropriate members message list page (ie. Adminnemooseus at http://http://www.evcforum.net/cgi-bin/membermsglist.cgi?action=...)
Any members message list (most recent message in a topic) can be reached by clicking on the members name, found at various places.
2) The larger "Post Reply" button, located at the bottom of the page. This is best used if you are NOT replying to a specific message.
Please feel free to add suggestions to this topic, to help others learn how to best use the features of .

Forum search engine
It can be found at:
http://http://www.evcforum.net/cgi-bin/search_new.cgi?action=int...
This is where you end up, if you click on the "Search" button, at the top right of the topics index page (to the right of "faq"), or on the "Search Forums" of the "Forums Nav" pull down menu. The pull down menu search function was fairly recently changed from the old, bad search engine, to the newer, good search engine.
Anyhow, one neat feature of the search page, is the "Search by User Name" area. Enter a user name there, and set the other entries as desired, and you will get a listing of the messages posted by that user, with the most recent message at the top.
