Obtaining Answers other than email?

Question

1. How can I access the answers that I get back, other than via email? I can click on everyone else's questions and the answers come up. My question line is "unclickable."

   1. How can I reply directly to someone who has answered me, so I can thank them?

Answer 1

Click on your profile, scroll down to questions asked and click on your question there. You can reply to people in the same post where they made their response.

Answer 2

I will go and fix the threads that it looks like you did that in.

Hurrah!. It is certainly a better solution to abandon traditional punctuation if it causes problems for Microsoft's browser than to switch to a browser that supports it. We, mere mortals, should be prepared to make any sacrifice (relearn any habits) if only it will make us Microsoft-compatible.

I use Firefox at home. At work, I am not allowed any choice but Internet Explorer with a standard US keyboard. I am sure I am not the only person who does not have the complete control over every aspect of their life that they would like. - Stadt, Feb 1, 2011

I don't edit them routinely, just when someone specifically seems to be struggling to get into their own threads. - Stadt, Feb 1, 2011

Answer 3

If you use Internet Explorer you cannot directly click on any threads that contain double quote marks (") in the first line of the text. You can go through your profile to get to them as outlined in another answer. To avoid this in the future use single quotes (').

I will go and fix the threads that it looks like you did that in. You might note some other scattered threads by other people that you cannot go in directly, where the same thing was done by the orignator of the question. You can go to their profile to get into their thread if it is one of the more recent questions they asked. If you switch to another browser such as Firefox you will not have this issue either.

I fixed two of your questions, I am on IE and cannot get to the third right now as it is not in the first page of your profile, but if you do the same edit it will fix it. - Stadt, Feb 1, 2011

Actually I am not sure you can do it at all from IE, someone using firefox will have to fix it. - Stadt, Feb 1, 2011

1. How can I reply directly to someone who has answered me, so I can thank them?

You can send a private message to someone. Click on their profile, and at the bottom left, click on "Send Private Message"

At your own profile, at the upper right, "Messages (XX unread)" is a link to view messages you've received, or sent.
