How to make post come up "new"

Hello!
I have posted a reply to some questions I have and when I submit them; they are not coming up as "new" posting... so how does anyone on the site know that I have a question(s) regarding the feedback received?
Am I doing something wrong when I reply?
My topic does go to the first page (sometimes, not always though).
Thank you!

If you are posting to an existing topic, you should hit the "reply topic" button. Then the post will show up in the right place. You do not want to start a new thread every time you post a response.

If you have something to say that is brand new, not in response to anything else, then you should hit the New Topic button at the top.

I have been spending quite some of my mod time moving posts into the correct forums.

If you click on "recent topics" at the top, it will show you all the new posts - however, if you just posted something, the software knows you posted it, so although the thread/topic will move to the top of the list, it won't have that little green (new) beside it, although everyone else will see the (new).

Thank you so much, Pam!
Now I know what I need to do when I have questions - and thank you for the valuable advice you posted on my other topic (my hands)!
