I'm kinda new... need help

The dark number next to your red number? That's the total number of comments for that certain poem.

Yeah, there's a way to reply...just click on that person's name and choose one of THEIR poems and comment on it. There should be a little box at the bottom saying "comment" or something like that...

Welcome to the site by the way, even if you have been here for over a month. :)

Peaces.
