I posted a topic and thought all the information I got was as much as I was going to get, so clicked on the message answered bit. I know I should continue to use the same thread, so as I have new information I continued and asked another question. When I looked on the community board my new question, continuing my old thread comes up as answered, does that mean that no one will look at it. If that is so do I start a new topic. I am quite confused and don't want to waste all you helpful people's time.

No Dorothy it doesn't mean people won't look, unfortunately you can't remove the
' message answered' tick, but you can edit the title to say for instance, "Help still needed, see last post" :-)

Thank you for this advice. I am getting the hang of it.

When you've edited the title, add a new post at the end to say what you still need, and that will bring it back up to page one of the board where it can be seen :-)
