[Sasha]

And we're off! Dr Hornig has just said she's logged in and will start answering questions now.

Do we need to do anything else?

 

[Soundthealarm21]

Dr. Hornig starting now.

@Scarecrow that's very normal with reddit. It's a very very busy website. Just keep refreshing.

 

[Sasha]

Anyone else getting "all of our servers are busy" messages when refreshing on reddit?

Not me...

 

[SpecialK82]

How do we see Dr. Hornig?? My screen hasn't changed

Edit: OK, I see her Updated comment at the bottom of her original introduction piece

I've just had two downvotes on the question in my first link in the last 5 minutes. I can understand it not being upvoted but why would you downvote it? What is the matter with people?

In amongst the trolls there are a few hardcore psychobabblers involved. They'd likely downvote any questions which are too sensible

Upvote her responses so people can see them.

 

[Sasha]

How do we see answers? Do we have to keep refreshing the screen?

Waiting to see Dr. Hornig's first answer, but how does it work?

 

[Soundthealarm21]

So far she's only answered one question (mine).

Since it's early in the AMA it's easiest to go to her page http://www.reddit.com/user/Prof_Mady_Hornig
and then for each comment click the "context" button to see the question.

When an AMA has been going on for a while usually the responses have been highly upvoted and are easy to see, but this is just the beginning so they won't be as visible.

Also since she is the OP (original poster) of the thread her name will be highlighted in blue.

I am a Reddit virgin so I'm clueless. How do we get to the live portion?

2nd question answered

I am, but I don't see anything but a bunch of comments. Do I have to scroll thru all the comments continually to find new stuff? (Sorry, apparently i'm a simpleton!)

What i'm doing is following her page: http://www.reddit.com/user/Prof_Mady_Hornig

After each new comment she posts I click the "context" button to see which question she answered.

Aha! I get it now. Thank you so much

 

[Sasha]

Is she answering top-ranked questions or just the ones she fancies?

 

[Soundthealarm21]

I still don't see answers from Dr Hornig. I've tried sorting by new, old, and hot. Any tips?

See my post above Leela.

I think that's the order.
