Cant see replies

Hi guys, I made a couple bounties and I cant read any of the replies to them? I am the author and it says "only the author can read replies" but j am the author.

I’m wondering how you will know who to give the bounty to?

Yes, i was wondering this as well. Maybe the moderators will now do it for us?????
Although i just had a bounty deleted because the moderator thought that it had been solved when in fact the link given by someone was for the wrong pattern. But i couldnt see their reply and didnt know until after it had been deleted :(

It means only the author of each reply can read that reply.

I believe the reason they changed that was a  privacy matter. If you make a post that someone has a bounty for, you would reply to the bounty with the link to your post, which would make the poster (you) no longer anonymous. Privacy is one of the most important things here.

Hope that explains it a little :)

I was wondering about that too. It used to be that the original poster could "Pick Best Answer" but I guess thats gone now, since we cant see the replies?
