From the Communicate tab locate the Discussion Forum section. Click on the forum of your choice.

From the primary window, click on the Post Title of the message you wish to reply to. From the secondary window where the message is displayed, click the Reply link along the bottom. You may make changes to the Post Title line if desired. You can also click the Quote Original Message link to include it in your reply. This is typically a good idea to do so. It helps readers follow the posting without having to find the original thread.

Author the message by using the white box under the editing icons. You can use the spell check utility and the HTML editor to make changes to your message.

You can attach files to the message by browsing to the desired file on your computer using the Attachments (add a file) link.

Click on the Submit button to finish authoring and post the message. You may edit the content of your message later if your instructor has set permissions to allow you to do so.
