I've experienced several occasions where I post and answer, and the OP has been required to respond in some way to correct an ambiguity in their question, or ask for more details. Every time so far they have responded by posting their own Answer to their own Question.

Perhaps it could be made clearer where comments and additional info can be posted (in the forum part at the bottom). It might also be nice to have a direct reply button on each Answer, (that possibly created a post in the forum below that was linked in some way).

Also so extra email notification on changes and new messages. For example if I post an answer to a question, it would be good to know if the OP (or anyone I suppose) posts a message in the forum, as that post may often be an additional question related to my answer. Perhaps the ability to reply directly to answers would assist this.

[For example - see this question[^] where (at the time of writing) the OP has posted several responses as answers despite my message in the forum to indicate otherwise]
