Can't find Producer reply
Any step by step instructions? Because I'm new to Screenwriter's Market, perhaps it would help if someone could give me step by step instructions how to find producer's reply. E.g. #1, #2, #3, etc.
Four times now this has happened, I'm notified by email that a Producer replied to my post. I always get to your website, sign in, then what? Where is Producer reply? Thanks. Tom

Re: Can't find Producer reply
Click on the first link in the email after you've logged in. It will take you to the thread the reply was made in. You'll have to scroll down and look for the newest posts made after your last post, or after the last time you looked. The email will state if it's a PM or post made to a thread.

Re:
A PM is a private message. It is in your Inbox. You can click on "inbox" at the top right of this page in the black bar.
It sounds to me like you have subscribed to threads (conversations on a board) and are receiving notices of replies. Like Jox said, first log in to Runboard! Then read your email notification. Click on the topic link, which is the first link in the email. When you get to Runboard, scroll down through the conversation it takes you to. If you don't log in first, if you are going to a conversation on a private board, you will then have to log in to read the messages. That could be when you get lost.

Re: Can't find Producer reply
This appears to be related to this topic and this topic.
Hi Tom,
If someone ever sends you a private message, the subject of the email notification will be:
quote: [Runboard]: Private Message from __________
Where ________ is the username of the person who sent you the message. This is when you go to your inbox, where private messages to you are located.
It sounds like you received this email instead:
quote: [RUNBOARD.COM]: Someone replied to your post
This simply means that someone replied to a topic you subscribed to, whether they were actually replying to you or to someone else in the topic.
quote: Four times now this has happened, I'm notified by email that a Producer replied to my post.
This means that someone replied to a topic you subscribed to. For example, when someone named Rob posted after you in a topic where someone was asking for a family comedy screenplay, you probably received a notification for that. Rob is actually a writer, not a producer, and was asking the producer for their IMDB page. I can see how this wasn't clear, because Rob didn't say the name of the person they were talking to, so it's understandable to think he was talking to the person who replied immediately before he did.
I understand how confusing this can be, because the subject line of the email notification does say someone replied to your post. Maybe we should change the subject line to, "Someone replied to a topic you subscribed to," just like it says in the body of the email:
quote: Someone has replied to a topic you have subscribed to. Please click on the link below to go directly to the topic.
I hope this helps, Tom. Please don't hesitate to ask us if you have any more questions on how to use Runboard.
Cheers!
Lesa

The subject line for email notifications of replies now says, "Someone replied to a topic you are subscribed to."
Thanks to Thor for changing that.
Tom,
I also sent you a private message just now, so you can see what an email notification for one of those looks like.
