That no one really replies to my threads !!!

[Yummymummyg]

Exactly that. I look on here an people have hundreds of responses and when I post I barely get any!

Asking a question rather than a statement engages people in conversation. What are your threads about?

Same here. Either no replies or very few. I seem to have an uncanny knack of killing threads too for some reason so I wouldn’t expect any more replies after this one .

I feel like the invisible woman on here.

I think it can be a matter of luck, whose about when you post.

Same here. Every son often (like now) I start posting on threads. Then I give up and go back to lurking.

@RobotRepair

I see you robot! You haven't killed this one 😂

Also it’s surely depends on the subject of the thread. Some only need a few responses, some can just keep going.

People love a bunfight so those tend to be the ones with hundreds of replies.

Start a thread about;

Dogs on a beach
Children in pubs
Car parking
Evil Mother in laws
Landlords
Cheeky F**ker incidents

You'll have loads of replies

Sometimes it's about being lucky in asking a question when there happens to be a lot of people online who know the answer.
Or if it's a very specific question and the first poster gives a really good response, sometimes people think they have nothing further to add which would help you more.

you've only posted one other thread this year, OP
maybe target a specific board - so post your question about feeding your baby on the infant feeding board, or the weaning board?

I'm not really one for starting threads but I think I can be a bit of a thread killer so sorry if it happens to you!!

I've never had loads of replays to the few threads I've created. They are usually helpful all the same. It's usually the controversial topics that attract a lot of attention, and I don't start threads like that.

I can only find one previous post in that username, at 10.45 last night in chat looking for advice on cows milk or formula.

It has no replies, but it was posted late at night, and I'm sure there are more appropriate places to post that question.

Maybe try bumping it at a busier time of day so more people can see it, or posting in one of the topics more suited to that question?

You have to start any thread in AIBU if you want a response . Or have a catchy/long title

Forgot to mention, keep or not keep the spelling or grammar correct - I'm expecting comments about my mistakes on my previous post.

Where did you post? Some boards get less traffic than others. What time did you post? The middle of the night UK time will be more difficult.

Same here, I don't start threads anymore and I post a lot less overall.

Where you post and what you post about make a massive difference to how many replies you get. It's not personal

Post your question here again, OP! We're all ears now and perhaps someone can help!

The only way to get attention on here is to start a thread about a minor 'cheeky fucker' situation and exaggerate the hell out of it, to the point where most of it is a blatant lie.

Thinking the same, I started one yesterday and didn't get one reply.

You've only created one thread in your username and that was last night. It appears to have been deleted by MNHQ. If they have deleted it, there must be a good reason.

Think about :

Which board you post on
The topic
How you word the title
Time of day that you post

Post a badly worded, boring topic in an inappropriate board late at night and you'll get few responses. Post an engaging topic on the appropriate board at the weekend and you should fare better.

@NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite it hasn't been deleted

Hi OP
I think I’ve noticed people posting more of their own “experiences”
rather than actual replies, help, suggestions.
Sometimes it requires at lot of typing, people prefer the one liners
LTB !
