When everything is OK, go online Go to GenesConnected, to the topic you want to reply to, Click on "here" ('if you wish to add to .... then click on HERE') Mark your text in the editor, copy it (edit/copy, or Control-C) Go to the Add-Message box in GenesConnected Insert your text here (edit/paste, or Control-V) "Add Message" and that's it ! Hope this saves you some money !
