Welcome to psychcentral minnie. If you click on the Post Icon: over on the left side of the reply window, you can choose which icon you wish. .

If it is anything that might be triggering, do use the "trig" icon. Pretty much the rest is a choice. Also, it isn't a requirement that you "reply to" the originator of the thread, as DocJohn has given us the Quick Reply option. (This adds your post as next in line to whomever happened to post before you.)
