Click on "Quote" on the message you want to reply to. This will put you
in reply mode with the message you are replying to block quoted. Took me
a while to figure that out too.

Well the mystery continues. While using Firefox there is no "Quote" or
even "New Thread" or "Reply" button visible! No wonder it was hard to
do. I checked using IE and Mozilla and all buttons were kosher. Anyone
have a clue as to what's going on with Firefox?? Sorry for the OT

Under the line that says "File Edit View Go..." there's a row of icons.
Hold the mouse over each one and you'll get a little tag help. To "quote"
you want the one that says "followup to newsgroup"; to start a new
thread you want "post to newsgroup".

ummm... it's a forum he is trying to reply to. One that runs
that very common forum software for presentation on a
web browser. Not a newsgroup. Unless this is the way
that Firefox enables those buttons on a web page...

I have been using Netscape at work without difficulty. I just checked at
home with Firefox 0.9.3 and it also displays correctly. On the bottom right
side of each post is a button labelled quote and next to it is an icon of a
pen and paper which floats the label "Quick Reply to this Message" Beneath
the last post on the left hand side is a Post Reply button.

Yes this is very strange. Those buttons should be there - but they are
not. I am fairly computer savy and am trying to figure this out, but am
stumped :>

Firefox is not set up for reading newsgroups. It is for going to web
sites, including HF. However Thunderbird is meant for reading
newsgroups. Check with your ISP for it's newsgroup settings. Who is
your ISP? Hopefully it does have a newsgroup feed.

Yeesh... again, he is looking at a forum (website) not a
newsgroup.

gary, check under tools/options/web features If you have "load images "
unchecked or "for the originating web site only" checked , the buttons do
not show.

That is what I am talking about. He read and posted to this news
group. Using a web site to read and post to news groups is using the
wrong tool. I consider it a work-around, kludge. Using a news reader
or a combination mail and news reader like Thunderbird, is a better
option. Since he has Mozilla Firefox, then Mozilla Thunderbird seems a
good choice. It seems to do a good job for me.
