How is "personal conversation" different then thread?

Hi,

I've been getting a lot of "Personal Conversation" sent from people who have quoted my post and left a reply on a thread I posted. How is a personal conversation any different then someone just replying to a thread? Am I suppose to be writing theses people back? They don't say, and I don't know how to do that.

Thanks for any replies.

I think it is is just a "notification" that they are quoting you or replying directly to something you posted. I doesn't require you to write back...it's more of a notification. I think you can turn that off in your preferences, but I'm not sure how to tell you to do that.

It's just a notification that a topic or reply you started has been replied to by another user. You can change your preferences in your profile setting to turn off the notifications. I like to keep mine on so I can go back and answer any questions that might come up or thank a user for their posts.

A personal conversation should be when you send a private message to someone. I am going to have to watch for that. I know I read that someone has quoted me, but I don't remember whether it's called something different than when someone sends me a private message.
