Replying to answers? 20 Characters long...?

[Chris]

After asking a question and getting an abswer is there a way to reply to the answer? If there is how please?

[boo]

You can't. The best thing to do would be to go to edit and add details. Or wait until it's time to choose a best answer and make your comment there.

You don't directly. YA is not a chat room or Facebook. YA is for Q&A, not conversation. You have two options:

1. E-mail or IM the user through their profile, if they allow communication.

2. Wait until you pick the BA and add comments for each user. Probably only the Best Answerer will see it since they only get a notification.

The ONLY exception is that you can add additional details to your question (little pencil icon on question toolbar) for clarification of the question. Do not call users by name doing this or it will be deemed chat.

in general, you don't.

if there's things you've left out, click the pencil icon and "add details" (don't resort to chatting)

If there's something you want to say to one specific person, click the username to see if you can email or IM him/her
