There are four different ways you can reply to a post

You are automatically subscribed to any topic that you either reply or create. This means anytime another user replies to your postings you will receive an email notification informing you there is something new to read and/or respond to. If you wish to receive these emails there is nothing further you need to do.

If, for any reason, you wish to resubscribe to the Topic or Forum please visit the Topic or Forum within the Index and use the Post Tools and add your subscription.  (See Figure 5)
