It is a busy discussion. How can we relate a reply to the correct comment?

I think Jessie and frustrated gave us ideas for solving this difficulty. My reaction is that it is such a good idea to improve our ability to navigate a good going discussion that we should kick ideas around until we have something we can present to patient.info. So please bang in your ideas and bang in your warnings (kindly) and encouragements (wisely). After a while we can stand back and see if we can put together a solution that requires the minimum of trouble and expense to patient.info and a big improvement in facility and understanding to us using the forum..

    before I make a reply to a discussion in a thread that has already generated numbers of answers I read through them if one comment grabs my attention and I feel a comment forming in my mind I reply to that one person but if more than one stirs the same comments I find a spot to enter my reply in all discussion that generate a lot of comment there is always the danger of treading on someones toes without setting out to do so.

    break the thread by replying to the initiator of the thread...then the block response is ended and the reader gets a break.

    you can then reply in separate breaks intended for the originator of the thread but put the name of the person you're responding to at the top of each new break ...then another with the name of the next person that you'd like to individually reply to..and so on til you complete your list of individuals to whom you wish to reply...(maybe everyone in the conversation who can then individually reply to you - as they can see your question to them clearly...and can respond) .

    Maybe??????????? xx

    Does this answer your question? Even if its not THE answer ?????? xx

    Doc ~

    I was so carried away with my issues, I hadn't seen this come in my email to tell me you've made a new discussion.  It's a good one at that!  I agree with both Peter and Jessie.

    If you want to break that non stop of replies (to whom or from whom) you have to reply to the originator of the discussion.  It keeps one from time consuming of searching up and down to see who you've responded to and whom still needs a response.

    Hope this adds to the quest of improvements towards making a good discussion, better!

      Excuse me?  Not sure what you mean by this?  Credit due where credit deserves?  I do thank Doc for making this discussion and if you're referring to the problem solver as far as the links following one another, I'm definitely sure you inspired this discussion smile  Good Job, Marey!  Kudos!razz

    In my opening statement I did not give marey credit for being active in improving our handling of the present system. I do so now.
