Mark in Phoenix has posted a few questions on my Message Board. He wants to know how he can tell when his posts have been answered. Since the board is so busy, it can take some work to navigate back to the original question.

Well, Mark, there is an easy way to find responses to your questions. When you log in to the Message Board, click your screen name at the top of the page. This will take you to your user profile.

On your profile page, you'll see a list of topics where you've recently posted questions or answers. Click on one of these to go directly to that section of the Message Board. Prolific posters won't see all they've posted on this page. Rather, they'll need to click the "Find all non-archive posts" link.

There's another link that you'll find helpful, too, Mark. It's the Active Topics link at the top of the page. Click it to see recent posts. By default, it shows posts since your last visit. But when you click the link, you can change the scope by selecting a different starting date. The results will update automatically.

If you haven't tried out my Message Board yet, you can sign up for a free 10-day trial membership. I'm sure you'll love it! And for answers to more frequently asked questions, visit my site.
