Hi Linda,

If you click onto someones name that has been helping you then this will send a private message to them..... we call this a PM.

If you want to reply on your thread then you click onto the purple reply button and then after typing your answer you click onto submit.

The best way to find your threads is to click onto COMMUNITY, then on the left handside down the screen you will see Tools, just under that is My Threads, click onto that and there your thread will be.

You'll soon get the hang of it.

A PM is a good idea if the information is about living people or you want to keep it confidential for other reasons. Sometimes when people have sent a PM they will post "Sent a PM" as a reply on the thread - this at least tells other people that someone has responded so that they can decide if they want to respond as well.

thanks all am getting the gist of it now its like a foreign language when you start PM N ect Lyn
