They’re even better than the old favourites as you can activate reminders, e.g. when you want to close your lottery, or once a month to update your bingo lists…

New question: I replied to a tag, using “message.”
It is not clear to me if I just wrote out my address in public view of the internet or not.
(If someone presses “Summary” will they see my address, which I wish to keep private?)
Thank you!

At the top, you can usually see where you are.
If you look at the “topic” which you assume to be a private message, is there a 
symbol in the upper left corner? Like this:
If so, it is a private topic that only you and the other participant(s) can see.
If that and the avatars are missing and instead there is a category listed (in this case Postcrossing-Help! You can also click on it to get to the category), then it is a public topic:

When I clicked the reply button, there’s a blank white screen popping up on the bottom half of the screen when I used my computer.
I have no problem on my phone.
Do you mean the preview screen? There you can see what your reply will actually look like before posting it.
Hello! I’m sorry for disturbing you. Could you tell me please how can I understand that my private message has been read? On the old forum I could see it…
Thanks in advance for your answer!

Hi @EugeneOnegin, you cannot really see if the message has been read.
If you go to your list of messages you can see how many views there were for your message topic - that might give you an idea.

When I press ‘reply’, I only see my own textbox, but can’t scroll up to reread previous posts. Sometimes when replying, it would be useful to see the previous posts, eg in a tag when you need to check the spelling of the name of the person you are tagging.
Is this not possible or is it just me?
At some point after the transition period end, we hope to disable logins too (we don’t have any dates yet, but there will be a notice about it). So please don’t keep data there that you need to keep, specially if you want to keep editing.
Maybe to do the opposite? Move your list here, and point to it from the old one. Maybe do that a bit later on the transition period if you feel you are not ready to do the leap.
This depends on where you are typing the reply.
If you are on a desktop/laptop device, normally when you are typing a reply, you can still see the posts on the place you are replying to.
If you are on a mobile device, the reply window will use the full screen since there’s so little space to show what you type as well as the screen keyboard. However, there’s an easy way to temporarily hide the reply while you look for something: just hit the little icon on the very top right. It should look like this:
That will minimize your composer window to the bottom of the screen. To resume the reply, just click on it again. Hope this helps!
