After my problem has been resolved and I have marked it as resolved does the discussion continue? I realize I can turn off notifications but just wondering if it goes on and on.

You can ask a mod to lock it. People like to do that when they aren't getting the answer they want to hear. Personally, I think it interupts the flow. Usually the discussions are useful.

As noted in the other posts, the discussion is not locked automatically. Experienced posters know that the accepted answer is often incompelete or even incorrect.

To get to a Mod to lock it.........click on options and then on report inappropriate content....... that's the only way I know to get to a mod. A page will come up with place to explain and just say you want to close the topic.

That reminds me of something I used to see regularly on other forums (or could have been here, been so long I don't remember).
I recall at least one poster here or elsewhere, where after they get their answers, they actually ask for the entire message thread to be deleted. No. That is an example of poor forum manners. Your question and the answers are expected to be available for others to find who may have the same question sometime down the line; especially if it turns out your post is the only one found where the Q got publically answered instead of the long string of search results with the same Q but only Me Too replies (or no replies at all).
Not sure what the motivation is to want your posts deleted after getting answered. Years later, I still scratch my head at that one.

Posters shouldn't automatically hope, or request a thread get locked once they get 'their' answer.
Many times, other eBayers lurking and reading these threads, can benefit from the extra answers and advice when threads like this continue with further discussions.
