I hope I can express myself ok ! I have not used a forum before this so am learning as I go along.

I posted on a forum, ppl replied. I wanted to reply to them all so when each of their posts was up I clicked on the reply tab on their message. Fine, but I found I was adding to the thread I had started so there were loads of posts to my thread but they were really to the individuals concerned .... hope you are following this ! ...I feel that this isn't what happens cos those ppl may just think that I have got more replies, not realising the replies are for them . I've done loads of these replies today, and now am worried ppl won't see them !!

Is the right thing doing PMs ? Or is that only for really personal stuff ?

Sorry if I sound ignorant - but I am !!!! I would so much appreciate any advice on this, if you can't get what I mean hope you will ask for clarification

cheers, Poppet
