When replaying to a  message the following screen will be displayed.
 

 
If your name and email address isn't filled in, fill in these fields.  Next proceed to the the body of the message.  The system will automatically quote the message that you are replaying to so that anyone jumping in on this thread can  read the original question and any replays.  Simply begin to type your answer above or below the quoted portion.  When completed click on the Send Message button at the bottom of the screen.  If you are familiar with HTML you can even use HTML tags in your message.
 
The Send Mail check box is a great feature.  This tells the OrthoChat server to post your replay to the message board and also email your replay the the poster of the message.  This is a nice feature because once a question is posted you will receive replies in your email.
