Today a reader asked me to explain what the term “thread” means when it relates to a message board.
When you’re talking about messages of any kind, whether they are text messages, emails, posts to a forum, or comments on an article – thread just means that particular message or subject.
If someone asked a question about how to make type larger in Windows 7 and there were several suggestions – the original question and all the replies to it would be part of that message thread.
If there are a series of comments on a Facebook posting, all of the comments would be part of that comment thread.
It’s considered good etiquette to stick to the subject of the post
Thanks, I can use a message board, but did not know the terms when seeking assistance…Jerry

So how do you make the text larger in Windows 10. And how do I know if the new version of Windows 10 actually downloaded? I asked these questions earlier, Too. Trish
