to feel ignored when my post is not acknowledged?

[snowmummy]

I may be sensitive, or precious and I'm fairly new on here but I would really like to know what the done thing is here on MN.

So is it unreasonable to expect some sort of acknowledgement when you have responded to another's request for information/advice? [gets ready for a flaming]

TIA

im used to being ignored

i am also very good at killing threads

King, you are in fine form today/tonight

cheeky mare!!

though i did get a reply

roflmfao

But I lurve you blondes

FairLady, what have I been noted for today then

Bugbear is like a Hobgoblin - irritating!

king - you just love my horse monsterpuppy

So it is a small mythical creature?

Ahh.... maybe.... is that not the same thing then blondes?

your posts just made me giggle...that is all king

Yes - something like that - designed to frighten naughty children! You know 'The bogeyman will get you.'

Phew

That is nice to hear thank you

Ahh, I always assumed it was something along the lines of irritating to a bear - bear with a sore head type thing. Hmm, now have visions of little leigons of mythical creatures marching in to make the kids behave

Blondes I'm a threadkiller too.

Sometimes it's a relief not to get a reply to a comment when you see the flaming other posters get!

king love me, love my dog - so yes the same

or love my dog,and love the blonde

bugbear on wiki....here

lol makeda, that is one way to look at it
you must be a "glass is half full" person

Thanks FairLady, I now feel I can use it, I hate using words that I don't really understand incase I am not quite using them correctly IYSWIM!

Blondes

Thanks FairLady, actually I'm just a wimp

Yes in response to OP, it's really usually that you read, nod and understand someone's contribution, but the fact that there are seven other people you need to acknowledge as well means they normally only get a joint thankyou from me...I feel guilty about it but it would take ages to say thankyou individually to everyone.

I very rarely actually IGNORE a post, ie don't read it and use the info therein. All posts are appreciated.

That's just me, not sure how universal it is.

On another forum I frequent there is one v.sweet poster who answers EVERYONE who posts on her threads. Sometimes these go on for pages and pages and she doesnt miss a one . Even the ones that just say 'hugs hun' or 'thinking of you'.

I am full of admiration actually. I am rubbish at that. I DO try but I am rubbish.

to be fair, it is fast moving this website, so it's to be expected that some people won't acknowledge your advice. it's happened to me many a time, but not looking too much into it.

alot of people give a general thanks to all those who helped as it's too time consuming to thank every single poster.

i'd slit my wrists if everyone thanked everyone all the time. it's one of the main reasons i can't really be doing with the big 'dave, dee, dozy, mick, titch, jenn, worley, puss' chat threads... ghastly.

i think people are really pleasant and kind on here absolutely for the most part... but it is a biiiiig forum now so it must be harder for newbs. at the end of the day, if you say interesting things people will be interested. (and if you suggest that being pro-bfing is making a fuss over every little issue then people will think you're rude ).

Thanks all for your replies. I reckon then, it depends on the subject of the thread and how personal or specific the information is.

If the post was asking do you prefer the red or the blue dress and I gave my opinion, then obviously I wouldn't expect a personal thanks. However, in the thread in question, I gave information that was quite personal, and (IMO) relevant. The OP did thank other posters personally whilst seemingly ignoring my post. Like some of you have said, it could be an oversight, this is a fast moving site so I won't be taking it personally.

Thanks again.

well if you made the effort to write a long post, i think a thank you would be the norm. definitely put it down as an oversight.
