Please note that the “Everything” filter gives priority to the newest posts and status updates. This means that new comments/replies on older posts will not appear at the top of the Everything view as they are entered.

To see the latest comments/replies, click “Show: Comments” on the drop down. Each activity item has a “view conversation” button to jump to that post.

If you are concerned that others may not see your reply or comment, always remember to @mention everyone that should be looped into the conversation.
