If it was a newbie then it's probably because they don't expect replies to come back so soon.


I've done it myself on other sites.


If you would like to pm me the thread in question, I will let you know if I have sent an alert to the OP.

I always apologise in advance that I cannot keep on line as I am on dial-up and live in New Zealand so I have problems with time as well. But I am always grateful for any help received.

Glenda thanks for your thoughts

I totally aggree some people have limited time due to other commitments which is fine but all they have to do is give all the info they have and state that as some add more info later and say they will be offline for several hours great no probs with that ;-)

I posted a query the other night and waited over half an hour before going to bed ( mind you is was after midnight !)

I'm afraid if it's instant feedback you're looking for, this is the wrong hobby.
Not always the poster's fault.
If the site worked differently (i.e. notifying when replies are made) we wouldn't have to keep sending out messages to point out how to return to the threads.

By the way, to the person who recently missed out vital information when posing a query... maybe I could ask her to find my Gt grandad born about 1853 .... he name was John.
