So, I posted my first question to SoPW today, and I got a helpful response; thanks, virtualsue! Later, I posted a reply to the response, but it hasn't appeared. What has appeared instead is a line saying 

Some notes below your chosen depth have not been shown here.

But I don't remember having chosen a depth anywhere, and I can't find anywhere to do that. Is there such a place?

Plus, my depth of what? Level of 'Re:'? reputation? something else?

I'm assuming that my response didn't show up because it was one of notes below this depth, but maybe there's another reason it didn't show up?

I've looked through the FAQ and all the documentation I can find, so a link to somewhere this is documented would be just as helpful and appreciated as a direct answer.

Thanks for helping a confused initiate.
