but on these boards - how do I know if someone replied to a comment I put out there? Do I get an email? Is there a notice? A way to search? What's the easiest way to navigate these boards? I figure there has to be some info out there on it but can't find it :)

TIA

    so if I post a reply in a message I can't see it under "my discussions" - only if I start a discussion (like this one) So .. do I have to scroll through each discussion to see if someone replied to me? Or is there a way to just search MY posts?

    You can click the little white star to yellow up on the far right hand side of the topic heading to bookmark what you want. You will then get notifications which you can see as the little bell icon next to a grey star and sprocket. (Account options and bookmarks) if that makes sense...

    Click on Search

    Hit the down arrow next to the search box

    Type your name into the author section

    It should show all your comments :)

    Click the star on the upper right to bookmark a thread, just above the original post. It will turn yellow, and you'll get notifications whenever someone posts in that thread. They will show up next to the bell, further up on the top right of the page. Next to that is another star, which will show you all the threads you've bookmarked. You can do this on whatever thread you want to keep an eye one, whether you've posted to it or not. And if you decide you don't want to follow anymore, just go back and unclick the star.

    I've never started a thread so I don't know if you get a notification for that. But I have never gotten one if someone quotes me, and I'm not sure about if someone uses @YourUsername in a post.
