Finding an author on Quora

Message for Quora: if this site were my piece of kit, I think I might be saying "Gosh, there are a lot of people who don't know how to do this. Perhaps I should make it easier?"!!

While we want to be polite and say "Hi Brent" when we answer someone, we generally find ourselves unable to do so, as this bit of info is buried deep. However, what we need to do is to click on the header for the question, and click the menu icon (...) on the right-hand side. Then select "View Stats and Log" from the pop-up menu.

Then we will see the page of information as shown in the illustration at the top of this page. We need to ensure that we scroll right the way to the bottom, else we may will pick up the identity of someone who has answered the question, not someone who posted the question.

I hope that helps!
