My sincere apologies if...

Hi all,

My sincere apologies to anyone who has responded to me in a post and not had an answer! (In particular Parvati - just answered you when you asked me about my back pain in the thread about restrictive lung disease!)

I've just realised that some people are responding directly to particular posts within a thread, rather than making a comment at the bottom of the thread, if you see what I mean.

I have been clicking on threads to check for new responses - but just looked at the bottom of it to see if there was anything new, not realising that there were new posts further up the thread! oooops

I'm not sure the way around this. Perhaps it means I shall have to scroll down from the beginning to the end of a thread to check for new answers? Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

Anne

Hello Annexx

It can get confusing can't it ?

It all depends on which 'reply button' someone presses with regard to where the reply actually ends up. Each post following the original one has a 'reply button' beneath it, but quite often people ignore this one and just type in the 'leave a comment' box.

Clicking the 'reply button' places the reply directly beneath the message being responded to, whilst using the 'leave a comment' box places the comment at the end of the 'thread' of messages.

Hope I've made that understandable....... it sounds unnecessarily complicated to ME and I'm the one typing it !!! lol

No problem Anne - I think I have only read about a tenth of what is on this site myself - it's all bit muddled compared to most I think In this instance, I answered specifically to you, rather than at the bottom of the thread you refer to, because it was a direct response to your issue rather than a post concerning the actual subject matter of the overall thread ... if you get my drift ...
