ADD MORE INFO TO A PREVIOUS QUESTION

Question

Hi,
 Me again. Sorry but I'm trying to prevent/avoid problems in the future....is there a way to add more info to a previously answered question? What I mean exactly is I posted a question and got an answer that I thought would solve my problem BUT...when I actually went to try what I was told was the solution, it didn't work in my case because I realized I left out some details. So to prevent several posts about the same thing, how do I, or can I add more to the previous post? Thanks

Hi @roberta .  If at the bottom of the thread it says "This 
discussion has been closed" then we cannot add anything to it.  But what
 you can do is start a new post thread and in that new post thread you 
can reference the original thread by copying and pasting the URL of that
 original thread into the body of your new post.If the 
original post thread has not been closed, then you can add to the thread
by Leaving a Comment at the bottom of the thread.  That will cause 
notifications to be sent to all the people who had participated in that 
discussion so they will know there still is activity in the thread.Another
 option, if the thread has not yet been closed:  If you have enough 
points accumulated (I don't remember how many points one needs to 
accumulate for this) you can edit your post.  If you have enough points 
accumulated you can click on those 3 dots and you will be given the 
option to Edit your post.  The issue with this is the others in the 
thread will not get notified of the edit so if you want to get response 
from others for your updates it is best not to enter them as an edit and
 instead post a new Comment.  Here is what the 3 dots look like (circled 
in red):

Sure.  Don't you get a comment box on the original question?
