The best way to continue the conversation is to be notified when someone replies within a post that you are participating in.
To do this, click the “subscribe” button in the right hand corner above the topic or post (depending on which you want to subscribe to). This will send you an email when someone else posts.
You can also check the “NOTIFY ME OF FOLLOW-UP REPLIES VIA EMAIL” box underneath the box with your post, before selecting “submit” to publish your post. This setting will only notify you of replies to your post.
