Follow-Ups


Reminder: To quit out of the newsgroups now, press ‘q’ until you are out.



So, you know how to read the newsgroups and how to post. Now you might want to follow-up (reply) to a post someone else has made. Well open up the newsgroups and go to the post you want to reply to. For this example, I went to my post on the intersocs.tv as you can see in the images below:

Press the enter key or the return key

Now, to add a follow-up (reply) to the post, press ‘f’ and you will be brought to the posting editor where you can enter your follow-up just like making a post as you can see in the images below:

Press ‘Ctrl+x’ to finish your post (hold ‘Ctrl’ and press ‘x’ and then release both). Press ‘y’ to confirm your post.

You will then be told that your post was added:
