Hi all
Firstly I just want to say a really big "THANKS" to all the members on here. I don't think I thank you "guys" enough for all you do to make this forum what it is.
We have had a few minor problems and moans on here recently and a few members getting upset because they felt they were not part of a clicky group, they didn't get enough replies to their posts, were left out, ignored, not emailed or PM'd enough etc etc.
I just want to remind people that the forum is entirely voluntary. No-one makes an income from it - not even me! All the administrators offered their time freely and all the members that post do so in their own time and when they can.
We have a superb community here and people that have been members for a long long time. They wouldn't come back if they didn't feel safe and welcome here.
Not everyone will reply to every post as it may not be relevant to them or they can't offer any advice so don't get upset if your post doesn't generate many replies. You can always make it "active" again by editing it and it will appear on the active topics list again.
Don't get disheartenend, upset or rejected if people don't reply straight away. I come home to over 100 active topics a day now and can't possibly reply to that many in an evening and I am sure I am not the only member like this. Imagine if you didn't come on for 2 days!
It takes time to read through the posts and reply so be patient and the replies WILL come in.
It also helps if you acknowledge replies to your posts as there is nothing worse than spending a lot of time replying to a post and offering support and advice and never knowing if that person even read it!
Please come back and update us on how you are doing. We love the success stories and people are motivated by seeing others succeed.
Above all enjoy your time here - it is not supposed to be stressful or annoying or make anyone feel left out or not part of the NoMorePanic community.
You lot make it happen and let's hope that continues.
Thank You
Nicola
