The upper window has a menu and if you scroll down you will see the categories. Double click on any category to view the messages. Just click on any message and it will appear in the bottom window. To reply to a message click on reply in the lower window. Another window will open asking you for a password (you make one up), Name, and email address. There will also be a place to type in your message. If you wish to post a new message (not a reply to a previously posted message), you will do so from the top window. Click on post message and a similar window will open up requesting the same information as the reply message.
