To send a message to the only author of the post, please select “Reply to Sender” (located in the "Reply to Discussion" drop-down). We recommend replying to the sender for simple comments like “me, too” that add little value to the overall discussion; and replying to the entire community when you are sharing knowledge, experience or resources that others could benefit from.

  A: Go to “Communities" > “Start a Discussion”. Or got to "Communities" > "All Communities" > select the community and select " Start a Discussion". From an email (HTML version) for a particular discussion forum, you can use the “Post Message” link located at the top of the discussion email.

Select the “Plain Text” format option for each of the discussions you are subscribed to.
  Q: Can I search for posts across all the communities?
