I'm new to this board and know that I enjoy reading the comments after I have posted. But, if you click on "My Topics" after you log in, you can see how many times your posting has been viewed. I guess that not everyone is going to comment, but it's great to see how many have acutally looked at the posting. I have found, in the short time I've been here, that this is a great group of ladies and their knowledge is priceless! I'm glad you're a member ... keep on posting!

Wow, now don't you feel better?

I am sorry you are feeling hurt. I don't think the number of responses has much to do with how good one's quilt is or not. I often go through the pictures (like now) before bed and enjoy all of them. I rarely post a comment. However, from now on maybe I will at least give a thumbs up to let people know I care. :-) :thumbup:

I think it may be the time of day. I posted pictures once in the evening and didn't see them on the main picture board the next day. I, too, had less comments than I see others receiving.

If I see quite a number of posts saying the same things I would say, I don't bother to post. Doesn't mean I don't have an opinion, I just don't want to repeat what's already been said, especially if I need to be doing something else and time keeps flying by as I spend time on the board.

I am on this site every night, mostly I come to see everyone's work. It gives me inspiration to do more quilts and try new techniques.

To be honest I rarely comment on them. When I do it is usually on the ones that have received the least amount of responses. I would like to comment on everyone's but I don't have the time.

Please don't stop posting everyone is reading and seeing your work, don't take silence as a bad thing. This is a great forum and would not exist if we stopped posting.

I am like many others. I look but don't comment to much. I love seeing all the quilts and everybody's ideas. As of this date, I have not made a post to show anything I've done. Think many people are that way. Time is an issue with me for sure. Please know that most people really do enjoy everything they see - but most don't post.

Please don't get your feelings hurt...I'm sure no one meant that to happen! If you will notice, the same people remark every time. If I view a quilt and there are already 8 pages of comments, I don't bother to say anything. I'm sure someone has already conveyed my feelings! I've tried many times for a PIF and am never on the board at the right time. We all love you and your work!

I agree with all the points everyone in this 10 page (presently) post has made.
I have felt like some of my posts were ignored or sidestepped. I have felt like I get more responses to my posts when my profile photo is my hummingbirds than I do when it is a photo of me. I have felt like my responses in posts shut the posts down. The discussion will be zinging away like mad, I make my response and no one comes behind me in the post and makes another comment. This has happened repeatedly.
I used to make a great effort to welcome the new members and compliment the quilts I love. I have almost stopped posting because of the many posts I have read that give a negative view of 'one word responses', 'redundant responses', 'can't help you but wanted to let you know I care that you live and breathe' responses,. You get my drift. I have been an active member since joining and each time I read one of those posts giving a negative view of these things it sets me back for awhile. I want to say a quilt is 'awesome, beautiful, adorable, etc.' but my fingers won't do the walking.
I apologize that you and many others are not complimented on your work or given help when asked.
