OK, this doesn't seem to be super simple for me. But I've noticed on some discussion on here that when people reply to each other they use the user name; like with me it would be @mrjuggles. Yet nowhere in the discussion is that noted, I see people's names and not user names, is that something in my settings. It makes it a little confusing to follow a thread, lol.
Do you normally click through to find out the account name (such as Mr Juggles) and use that, I would normally use the name displayed in the thread.
I really am a geek but this has thrown me a little..
@mrjuggles - Paul, I also find it very confusing because, if this thread were quite a bit longer by now, anyone reading my comment wouldn't know who I was replying to (except I've actually used your name). Sometimes it's obvious but others it's impossible to follow who's replying to whom.
Oh, I didn't notice a reply link, haha! I just hover over the link to the person's profile; that will pop up their username, and you can also see it at the bottom of your browser window where it displays the URL the link points to.
and by using the reply link it gives you a notification up at the top of your nome page that someone has left you a comment of mentioned you in a comment
thank god I looked around, I was about to say equally how hard it was to track comments and follow discussions, then I found the speech bubble at the top. I'm getting like my son looking for his school shoes, I'm not looking hard enough, lol
@mrjuggles I'm glad you asked! I was wondering this myself and get very confused trying to follow threads. I never noticed there was a reply button. Makes me wonder what else there is to discover about this site.
