SteveR,
I just replied to a post by Nancy, and it didn’t place it directly under her post. It placed it sequentially at the end by #:
That is how it works, and no settings to change that, so if I am replying to someone’s post I will copy the text from it and then use the block quote so the reader knows who and what I am replying too. This is what I did here on my reply to you.
