Mike,
Right below your post is a link that you can click on to remind you that you want to reply to this particular post. It's just a tool to help you find a post that you want to reply to - maybe after you make sure you know what you're talking about. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Here's what you see after you click on that link:
</font><font color="blue" class="small">( The selected post/thread has been added to your list. You will see this entry in 'My Home' until you remove it if you added it as a Favorite. You also will get any replies to your favorite threads emailed to you if you have this option enabled in your profile. Reminders will not be emailed to you and will go away once you make a reply to the post. In a moment you will be automatically returned to the forum. )</font>
