Sorry but these stupid questions are not actually about robots as such. They are actually about how to use the LMR website. I couldn't find anywhere else on the site to raise these questions so my apologies if I'm doing something wrong. I have searched the site, found a few dusty corners I'd never noticed before, a few faqs and guides but still haven't found the answers I'm looking for.
Earlier today I posted an update to my Nosy page. Logged back on an hour or so ago but didn't see anything on the LMR home page. Should it have appeared there? I eventually found the entry on My Stuff > My Pages and realised there was already a reply to the update. So someone saw the update. Shouldn't I have seen the update on the home page or, more likely, am I completely misunderstanding how the site works?
I also sent a comment to another member, regarding his robot. Yet neither his page on Home or Home > Robots lists my comment.
I've just found my updated entry on the Home > Robots page but not the reply from another member nor my reply to him. Now, I'm officially confused.
On what is probably a related issue, I'm finding the Subscribe function doesn't work as I would expect or, more likely, I'm doing something wrong. I thought I had subscribed to my own page (as well as others) but except for a couple of days about three weeks ago when I received notifications of additions to a large nummber of pages going back a few years(!), I have never received any form of notification about changes to pages.
Is there a guide anywhere on the site which could clarify what what should happen or explain where I'm going wrong?
I'm just about to retire and want to take a more active role on this site. At the moment, though, I'm sure I'm missing a lot of what is going on.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks for your time and effort.

Updates
I have been ovserving the same behavior. Updates by me to an original post do cause the active forum list to be activated whereas replies do. Have seen other entries where the forum entry is marked as “updated”.
I usually press “recent” in
I usually press “recent” in the navigation bar to see updates, much more compact.
Use of the Website
Thanks for the comments, folks. I’ll try asking the owners and see what response I receive.

Display control
While there it would be nice to ask about other site controls. For instance, I would like to be able enable/disable the ShoutBox and set its height and width.
