There are several ways of adding an answer to a thread. You can simply use the quick reply box at the bottom. You do not get much control of the formatting of your typing (unless you know the coding.)
The other ways of answering is to use the quote or reply buttons in one of the messages. That way you get a ribbon at the top of the answer pane with some options one it.

Further to my reply above, a lot of the features in the ribbon are greyed out. They only become functional when you highlight some text. Be warned however, you can not use the short cut keys to do the highlighting, you must use the mouse before you can use the features. Also when you use the link insert function it does not put an underline under the link. I use the U button to underline the text I want as my link text before I hit the chain link butto to insert the link. I also find I have to type text after the bits I want to add features to before I do the adding. For instance I typed the Letter U and then pressed the underline button and when I typed more text it kept underlining the text as I typed.

Advanced editor opens your message, Highlight the web Url you want to link then click on the 'chain' icon below 'A B' which will now be blue instead of grey. This will activate your link.

I do it this way, copy and paste the link here and then at the front of the text put [ u r l ] and at the end put [ / u r l ]
I have put spaces between the quotes just so that it will show here, just do not put in the spaces.
Hopefully can catch you on the bands one day Peter.
Maybe on 40, I'm not a big fan of 80 - 40 is where it's at!
