How do you reply to people on this forum? 

i post questions and i get answers from people who answer my questions but i don't know how to reply to a specific person. How do i do that?

Click the little arrow under their comment and it will quote the person.

You can quote them with the button circled, so they know you're replying directly to them.

Not tech news, not a review. Wrong section.

 

If you want to quote someone press the arrow button below their post. if you want to mention then you need to write an @ followed by their name, like this: @echy

you can also click on the person profile and click Message to send someone a private message (no one can read but you and the person you send to, even the moderators)

Unless it's reported

I would recommend learning to use Multiquote (the + sign). It works same way as regular quote, but instead of posting 3-7 posts right after another, you can have all those quotes in single post.

 

Another pro tip for working with quotes. You can split quotes by pressing double-enter at wanted position. You can remove quote by clicking + at top left corner and using delete key. You can also drag quote by that + sign and place it to another place in your post.
