Help me, please! I’ve been looking high and low for instructions on how to navigate this site and cannot find it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s right under my nose somewhere. Anyway, i posted a question in General Discussion and I’ve gotten some replies that I’d like to respond to but I can’t figure out how to reply to individual comments. I don’t see where I’m notified of replies either. It’s ALL a mystery to me lol. I’m used to Reddit format and this is so different. I guess I don’t adapt to change too well.

You don't... this is a
Message Board format. You reply to
Threads, not individual comments - each Thread is a "page", where comments are stacked, in order of Time +Date. Could go multiple pages. Its pretty simple...
So at the bottom of every Thread, under the "last" comment, there is a button Post A
Reply. Click on that & a window opens where you type your Reply to the entire thread/ page - There are Folders, aka "Discussions". You can also click the Quote button to copy & reply to individual comments .. But it's not a
Multi Threaded format like Reddit or Facebook.
From Wikipedia:
All message boards will use one of three possible display formats. Each of the three basic message board display formats: Non-Threaded/ Semi-Threaded/ Fully Threaded, has its own advantages and disadvantages.

If you move the cursor to the top right of someone's post (comment), you'll land on 'Quote'.
Click on that to quote them exactly or you can take out irrelevant parts, like I did.
Also, I don't think we have the option to be notified of comments to your post, but when you open the site, you can click on 'View Unread Posts' and if anyone has commented on your post since you were last here, it will come up.
