Whenever the reply to a message to anew a message occurs, the new message is indented under that message in the Conferences list to show other readers the thread of the conversation. Replies are displayed chronologically within each topic. Users can also reply to a posting privately, by sending an email message to the original message poster. WebBoard displays a message creation form for you to complete. The form is the same as the one for posting a new topic except the topic from the current message is displayed.
Users can use the same topic or change it.
Some replies need to be shared with all the participants of a conference, while others are appropriate only for the individual who posted the message. WebBoard lets users reply privately to the message author by email. Note that if a message was posted anonymously, users can not send a private response. Click the poster's email address link in the From field of the message. Users must enter a subject and the response.
