When reading a discussion topic, you may decide to respond to
the topic. To add a reply to a discussion topic, do the following:
- View the summit page.
- Log in, if you have not already.
- Click on the linked title of the forum in the "Discussion and Document
Forums" section of the summit that interests you.
- View a discussion topic that interests you by clicking on the topic's
linked title in the folder listing.
- Click on the Add button, which is located in the upper-left corner of
the page, as follows:
For illustration only: 
- In the displayed menu, click on the Reply link.
- In the "Title" text box, specify a descriptive title for your reply (such
as "I vote 'no' regarding hiring another engineer").
- Type the text of your reply in the "Text" text box (for example, "Although
we have extra work to do in the next few months, we won't have enough
work after that to keep the new person busy").
You do not need to "sign" the reply, because Forum automatically
includes a "signature line." The signature line includes
the full name you gave when you registered, and the date and time you entered the discussion topic.
The remaining sections of this form are optional; you can use them,
if you choose.
- Click on the OK button located at the bottom of the page.
The title that you provided in the "Title" text box now appears as the
last entry in the list of replies to that discussion topic.
Instead of placing your response at the end of the
reply chain, you can "reply to a reply," and place
your response in the middle of the chain. To do
this, click on the linked title of the reply to
which you want to respond, click on the Add
button, and click on the Reply to this reply
link. Forum then places your response in
the reply chain directly after the reply you chose.
