I am now going to make it a point to post to any threads that I see with little or no replies. Anyone else feel this way?

I'm actually glad to see this post. You are definitely not alone. I especially get my feelings hurt when my post is not responded to, but another post with the same topic gets tons. I guess we are just being over-sensitive; I care alot about my cyber friends here and have learned so much. Therefore, I just try to "grin and bear it".

But I usually go to "New Post" first so the first page is what I usually read..if your post gets to lets say the following pages it may not get read..maybe if you post on it again it will keep it in "New posts". I wouldn't take it personal though. ttyl

Occasionally - I think it may be the questions we are asking. Some of the same questions are asked "over and over and over" again......and, I for one, have become tired of giving the same answers to the same questions dozens of times. (I'm thinking about such common topics as "potty training, barking, etc. At times, I notice some of these questions getting few or no responses.)

I think it might be good for some of us to run a searchand see what has been already been said about topics we are wondering about -- rather than asking the same questions so often.

**** I have been a member here for a while now - and have answered a couple thousand threads. I'm really being more selective now about the ones I answer. Because as I mentioned, I have already answered some of these same questions dozens of times. I will jump in though - if I feel I have something new to add.

But - if something new and different is being asked - and no one has replied - I will -- if only to bump it up -- reply to it so that others might respond also.

***** For sure - don't take this personally. It happens to all of us.

I too feel that way sometimes, and not always when asking a question. Sometimes when I post and get no replys I have wonder if it is not being seen by others,LOL, ....I try not to take it personally though because I get so much enjoyment out of reading everyone else's posts.....I love the picture section too......I will try to respond to posts that have little or no replys, but usually don't on the 2 pager's.

Patti · 06-06-2006, 11:58 AM

I try and post to threads with few replies since I know how it feelso not get a lot of replies.

LuvMySissy · 06-06-2006, 12:59 PM

This has happened to me, too. But since I read many more posts than I reply to, I pay more attention to the # of views and figure if I get little or no responses, there must not have been anything to say.

Chelsey · 06-06-2006, 01:31 PM

It happens to most of us, don't take it personal. I try to answer posts with few replies as much as i can, but this is a huge forum and threads get lost because there's so many "new posts" to read

Just keep posting

megan_kat22 · 06-06-2006, 01:33 PM

that's happened to me before too :-(, but this is such a big forum

teri88 · 06-06-2006, 01:38 PM

Don't take it personally. There are so many posts on here now that things seem to get buried before you know it! Go back to your posts and bump it up so more people see it. It is frustrating that you don't get answers. Hang in there, it's a friendly community, just getting really big!

stinky · 06-06-2006, 01:43 PM

I understand how you feel; I don’t like starting threads because I know it will bother me if no one responds. Lol. But obviously it’s not personal because look at all the people who responded today. See, you are loved.

BabyFidgette · 06-06-2006, 01:47 PM

It happens to me too. But you sure got a lot of responses to this one!

red98vett · 06-07-2006, 07:30 AM

Talking about it worked - you have a TON of responses and yes - it happens to all of us I think
