To reply to a topic, simply click, the button that says "New Reply" this will take you to a the full full reply page. This page has access to the smiles and the BBCodes as well.

This differs from "Quick/Fast Reply" in that the quick reply has limited access to these things. After you have typed out your post, you can click the "Preview Post" button which will show you what your post looks like so far, or you can simply scroll to the bottom and click "Add Reply" and it will post your reply to the topic and redirect you to the newest post in the topic.
If you just want to quickly post a reply to the topic, in the same window, then you can use "Quick/Fast Reply".

This works similar to "Add Reply" except that, instead of it taking you to the reply page where you'd have access to BBCodes and Smilies, (if you have javascript enabled in your browser) then a small window will open at the bottom and in it you can post what you want to say and then click the "add reply" button at the bottom of the window, and it will automatically post your reply to the topic.
If you want to use smilies in your quick reply, then you'd have to have to click the "Show Smilies Pop Up Window" link and this page will open up and you will see every smilie we use on this forum. Simply click on the one you want and the code for it will show up in your post.
Now, let's say that you decided that you want to use the Full reply window I mentioned above, all you have to do is click the "More Options" button and it will save your existing post in the "post preview" window and take you to the full reply screen.
This is what you'll see once you click the "Preview Post" button.

If you scroll a bit, then you will see the preview window and the full reply area. This is to demonstrate that you won't lose your post when you click the full reply button.

From there, you can continue working on your post and follow the instructions above to post.
To post a new topic, simply click the "New Thread" button and then post as you would as if you were replying to a topic, and then scroll to the bottom and click the "Post Thread" button instead.
