	Also you don't need to bookmark anything you write. If you look at the left hand side of the page, you will see My Threads. If you click on this, you will see a list of all the threads which either you have started, or you have added to. I only use the My Bookmarks for something which I have read and want to come back to, but have not added to,so it wouldn't show in My Threads. Don't forget that if you click on a persons name, a box opens which allows you to send a personal message to them. You know if you have a message in your inbox because the word Messages which is on the green bar across the top of the page turns into a much heavier white font linda
