The layout of the threads (for posting) is (to me) confusing and condusive to making mistakes.

Many times I have been told I am clicking the "Quick reply" button.

I shall refute that saying that the option just below the field is really not helping me with posting replies.

(See picture)

Now granted REPLY (green) is what I should be pressing.

There is this QUICK REPLY button (Orange) which .....  is confusing.   What is a QUICK REPLY?

Then there is this non-specified field POST REPLY (red)

I'm using that to reply.   It CLEARLY SAYS "POST REPLY".   It isn't/doesn't.   It seems to post this QUICK REPLY and to that end I am posting to myself - if it is my thread.

Yes, I am (probably) the only one who is falling for this.   I can't say if that is good or bad.

But the clear lack of CLEAR indications of what which button does isn't helping me.

Where should I discuss this?

There isn't a real option for feedback on this issue.

I've tried the "Feedback" but am not privileged enough to use that.

No problem.

Thanks.

Quick Reply refers to the OP.
In general, a reply should refer to a specific post.

Ok, and so what is the red area for?

This may rub some users the wrong way, but I only use the Quick Reply function, it's just too darn (apparently, dam is censored) easy. If I need to tag the poster above this reply, I'll do an "@" such as @mark33.in.oz so everyone can see where the reply is directed.
