  • If you find your post is not answered all you have to do is Bump it right back up to the top - easy peesy.

    As far as I am concerned these forums are for chit chat. I dont think people would bother coming on here as regularly as they do if they didn't make friendships with other MSE'ers so therefore nobody would be here to answer urgent posts. And yeah some peoples post would get answered more than others but some of these guys have posted here along time and and have built up great friendships. Imagine walking into a room of a 100 people who knew each other really well. What would happen? You would get a few (forward) people coming up and talking to you at first, you would then start making idle chit chat, mingle and get involved and eventually you would be a part of the group. Its sad some posts get missed but Im sure it is not intentional.

    I've really loved being part of the MSE Boards, and this one in particular because the sense of support and care for each other is a real tonic in what can seem a harsh world.

    It's been debated a lot, but I for one would like the board divided up so that the debt diaries are separate. It can be easy for people's urgent requests for help to slip down and vanish without being noticed.

    But it is a social forum and that is what makes it special.

    I hope the OP is still around and will contribute again....
