Reply vs Post in comments

[Iloveclouds]

Could someone please explain what the difference is between Reply and Post in comments?   I know how to comment but I am not sure what these 2 do. Does the sender immediately get my comment when I make one?

The sender may not necessarily get your comments immediately. They may simply show up in their inbox and wait for them to login. It depends on what they set up in preferences for the forum.

I do not follow the fora via e-mail, because I do not want my mailbox flooded by all the forum comments for the fora I follow. If you are an iccasional user, however, you can set you preference to e-mail, so you catch answers to your questions without having to log-in. You will also get mails for fora entries where you commented.

I finally looked up fora and found that it is indeed plural for forum, @Abambo.  Thank you for the Latin lesson!

You’re welcome.

May be you know either data - datum.

Hi Abambo​

I learned the data / datum more than a couple of years ago in high school math, so I probably should’ve figured out the fora sooner, but didn’t!

I just realized that this question had been moved from the reader forum to the forum comments forum by a moderator and we are both answering it as if it’s for forum comments. I don’t think it should’ve been moved, but I want to check with you before moving it to acrobat comments and moving it again.
