Hello, I was wondering the same thing, regarding comments. You simply must go to: "Comments made by me". Then you see, whether you have a reply. If you check "Comments to my photos" you look, and on right side you see the date, the last one was made. If you look "comments made by me, you see number of replies, and date of reply ! This way, today I saw, you have sent me a comment on the photo of "Mytilus". Hope this is easy to understand :-)

Hello Cornelia, as i can see, we are exactly in the same situation and taking photos is like for you my way to travel without money or connections....
I have a technical questions for you about the new site.
When i write a comment on one of your photo, how can i be automatically advise that on your side you answer my comment as you do for the comment i write about that nice picture.....
Best regards, friendly, Robert08

Unfortunatelly I am not in the financial situation to have an own sailing boat and I also do not have "connections" to go onboard as a passenger, but taking photos, one can of course without money and without connections :P

Hello Cornelia, long time no see! Hope you feel weel!
Very lovely picture of that nice little Mytilus. Did you already sail on ship like that...must be pretty exciting.
Very best regards, robert08
