is it better to click on reply to answer or it it better to create a new pm? I notice that when I click on reply I don't get an answer back for whomever I am send a pm back to.

Thanks Dawn

These are things that are not always understood until it happens to a person. I did not know til recently that there was a check to let you know you had a PM.

I prefer an answer to a new one, as it keeps the thread together. It should make no difference as others have stated, but isn't it annoying to get no reply when you have answered a question - which might have taken considerable time in some cases.

Yes , you should click onto the reply and it will add the +1 with the PM block.
Or the cutie will have to go into all the latest PM to see if there were comments left. Hugs Yvonne

How doyou give more than one flower? I hear people talking about giving more but how do you do that? I only knew of the thanks flowers in green to turn to orange.

I don't think it makes a difference - the problem arises if you reply by "adding comment" and that answer remains hidden, possibly forever!

It makes no difference if you start a new message or click reply. The problem is with add comment. (The question asked if it was better to start a new PM)

If you click reply, it will alert the person by putting the +1 beside their private tab....if you click add comment, that person does not receive an indicator of your added text. So, clicking reply should notify someone of added text.
