I have read most postings but do not know how to send a message. Please help

Suemar, you just did send a message :)

I'm able to read your message and so is everyone else on the forums.... just use the same formula to post in other threads as you did here and you should be fine

I have a question: how do I find out if anyone has replied to my thread? I'm new also, and just posted under the new member thread to introduce myself. Thank you! :)

Hi there. When you first log in to the main page there are dots on the left side at each subject. On my computer if there are new replies to any threads in that topic the button is green. If you click on that heading it will take you to the thread page and any topics that have been replied to since you last read those posts will be highlighted. If you click on the thread and read them all the green light goes out. When you come back green may be lit to tell you there are more replies. Maybe not to your post but to others in that group. Hope that helps. Al.
