How do "Conversations" work.

[Tench745]

I thought I saw a thread about this topic already, but couldn't find it anywhere in Forums 101.

Where can I find ongoing conversations with other forum members? I get email links when someone messages me and I can navigate from that to past messages, but can't find a button/link from any of the forum landing pages to get to a conversation list.

If you mean private messages then just click on the inbox icon next to the alerts.

Haha, oops. Yeah, I spied the "inbox" just after I posted. I've been looking for it for two days now... Does this make me old or just clueless?

Glad that's sorted.
Another one. What exactly is "follow" for?? It seems to me it should alert me when someone I'm following does some action, like create a new post. But I've never noticed anything at all.

This button does just that

Thank you. All this time I've never known that. Hmmm, why do they want to keep this stuff a secret?

It's not a secret, I think we just need to read the manual.

THERE'S the problem. I lost mine. Or they never gave me one. Or it was in some primitive form of English written by Chinese who say "Oh sure I speak English. I'll write it for us. All loyalty to the CCP!"

I've been thinking about installing Discord, but I waste enough time here already I've been hesitant. Consider your endorsement another check under the "pros" section of the pros/cons list.
