Hi, Sandy.

Are you getting to the posts by "notification email", then clicking on the link in the email? Sounds like it.

Ok, if you ever just go to the site and then cruise around, you'll see whole Forums with titles, like LowCarb Products. The forum contains the "conversational threads" that also have titles, like the "Liquid Splenda with Absolutely No Carbs". Within the threads are collections of posts in date order.

If you are responding to a particular post (so you are already IN a titled conversational thread) just use the Reply button at the bottom of each page of a thread, and your post will stay right there in that thread.

If you want to start a new conversation but about the same subject as the thread you are reading, still use the Post Reply button but change the subject line ...

If you want to start a whole new subject area (and don't want it INSIDE that particular conversational 'thread') use the New Thread utton at the bottom of each page of a thread, and your post will become the first post of a brand new conversational thread, the subject line you give it will be the title and it will show by itself at the top of the Forum you are in... it takes a bit of practice, but use the Reply button the most and you will get the hang of it and others will be able to find your answers, too.
