To activate the quick reply box you need to click on one of the quick reply icons for one of the messages in this thread. The quick reply icon is to the right of the Quote icon, at the bottom right corner of each message.

If your post is in relation to another specific message, it's generally a good idea to click on the Quick Reply icon for that specific post as doing so makes it so you can track that specific segment of the thread separately from all other posts in the thread when using the Hybrid or Threaded display modes.

If your post is in relation to the entire thread, but not any specific message, then just use the 'post reply' icon and that will set your post as a base reply to the thread within the hybrid/threaded display modes.

Linear display mode is the default mode for GC. You can switch between the various display modes via the Display Modes drop down menu that is near the top right corner of pages (on this page just below where the page numbers are at the top right).

In Linear display mode the threads will show as they always have on GC. The Hybrid and Threaded modes look a bit different, but enable threads that split into many different sub-discussions to be easily tracked and participated in.
