"discussions i've replied to", let's be honest, how often do you check it?

We earn here because we are responding to some discussions, but as an Avid MyLot user, do you tend to go back to the discussions that you have replied to? how often?
I do, but not to the point that I check them all, I just browse to the discussion to see if there are some comments regarding what I said. From the first page, I would pick one or two. I am happy when somebody comments on my response.
I observed that when a discussion has so many responses, there are no more comments to give for the last posters.

I try to go back and check to see if anyone has responded to me and I need to answer. But I am still pretty new at this and cant always find my post very quickly. I have a 4 month old, so not a lot of time to browse around. So however many I can get back to during naptime, thats about my limit.

I don't go back to discussions that I've replied to very often, but I do go back to discussions that I've started pretty often. I like to see what people have said about my topic and comment back to them.

Yeah that's a good point. We should also rate the person who response to our discussion.

My first few days on the site, I used to think to go back and check on discussions. But since I tend to reply to 50 or more topics per day, I really don't have the time to go back and look at all of them. It would be nice if I could, but I really can't. *laugh* Also, what I think that Mylot should do is give us the option to be notified via email when someone replies to a repsonse that we have left on the site. Then we wouldn't need to go back and check on discussions if we jsut wanted to know if someone had said something back to what we had posted, which is the main reason that I would go back to look at a topic again. ^_^

That is true. I am a newbie on MyLot and so end up looking up my posts. But it can get to be a chore, particularly when the discussion list gets long, and even to find your own comment is difficult.
Instead of the email notification option, I think a hyperlink to discussions that you have responded to - directly to your comment would be helpful. Also if there is a comment on your post, then this needs to be indicated on your home page.

I have to admit I rarely ever go back and check on discussions that I've responded to. I don't know why, I just never think about it. The occasional time if its something that I want further input or to carry on a conversation about I'll go back and check, however it is rare.

Wonder if this calls for a customisable Mylot Features upgrade. If a check box were available, you could be notified when someone comments on your comment. The technology upgrade is simple enough.

Yes, I actually tend to check the "discussions i've replied to" quite often, but I'm a newbie so there are only a few of them.:P

I always go back. I check discussions I replied to many times during the day to see if anyone replied to something I said because I'm not here for money. I like to have conversations with other people. I also read a lot of the other responses, not just mine and those that responded to me, because I might have something to add to the discussion which is the point of this site--to discuss topics, not to make money.

I try to go to the discussions I've replied to section every once and a while. The hard part is finding your reply within that discussion to see if someone replied to you.

i regularly browae the posts that i have responded to too see if i have had any rebuttals or thing like that.in some cases i do in those cases i rebut once again and we have a mini discussion going on within a discussion.i think to do that is nice adn once in a while you will get to see and hear and interact with the "other side of the coin".

to be really frank i just forget about the discussion i have responded coz find it a lot boring to go and check about what and how have others responded to my discussions...well i would like to know know what are other comments...but then my laziness overcomes my desire to get a glimpse fo the results.....
