    I replied to the topic and it was upped, but I found no body take care about the topic usually.

    From what I've seen of the way this forum board operates I would suggest that it would be best to create a new topic to ask further questions.  I've also seen some of the forum supervisors here suggesting that people do so, when follow-up questions have been posed in a topic after it had already been marked as 'answered'.

    In particular, I think people should avoid asking further questions in a topic thread which somebody else has initially posted.



    That's my personal opinion, of course.  It comes from a person who is very experienced in forum supervision and administration elsewhere.  The 'dynamics' of how this specific board functions are easy enough to see after a short while, to a person with an reasonably experienced eye.
