When the OP never responds😬.

I'm sure I'm guilty of that on occasion, when I have forgotten exactly where or who I asked a question on/of. Or have just let time & life carry me away.
But, yes, I agree, it is frustrating!

Start a new thread - this is about something entirely different and you won’t get responses.

I’m really worried about my thinning hair. Any suggestions?

Do you ever spend time giving advice to someone who never responds infoman? If you do, I haven’t noticed. And there’s no need to shout.

I stand by what I have said.
WILL MY WORLD CHANGE? NO.

This posting reminds me of the early days of e-bay,
some e-bayers, after they had sold something to you would private e-mail you and request you rated them and the service.
Thankfully what e-bay have now done is stop the same person
pressing the refresh button to increase the amount of views/looks on the item they were selling.

I am quite new too and I asked for advice on commemorative coins - I had every intention of coming back and thanking people for their advice and opinions - which I did - although it was a few days afterwards so I hope people did'nt think I wasn't going to bother.

I think it's really rude when folk post asking for the OP to return, or doubting the validity of the post if they don't return (mind you there are some very rude folk on here). Who knows what the OP is dealing with (in one case a family death). Comments like that are extremely rude, accusatory, and just clog up the thread.

I posted something recently about an overbearing ‘friend’ but now can’t find it to see comments or to respond. I’ve looked in ‘I’m on’ but it’s not there.

It's on 'ask a gran'

Bella23 I received that newsletter

I’ve noticed that often google searches prominently show new posts, with poster’s username too, especially about topical subjects.

Thank you

You can search on google for ‘[username] gransnet’. The search function here is useless.

I tried the search button juliet27 but it came up saying no results. I'm quite new so I didn't know you could search for a particular person to see in what threads she has commented. However, I tried and it didn't work

If it’s a long winded new entry I often check the name in the search to see if they’ve ever posted before. I did respond to the Edward from LA foodie one as I thought it could have some interesting responses but he’s vanished off the scene as many do.

Interesting/informative though they may be, I cannot be bothered to read long diatribes unless the topic REALLY interests me and even then I often give up.

I can never be bothered to read any very long ones with no paragraphs.

Ah yes Nanna I’ve just noticed I was sent the roundup because I’d subscribed to their newsletter - apparently!

If you don’t ask for their newsletter they won’t send it. I didn’t ask for it because I don’t want it, so I don’t get it. I would be annoyed if I got something like that unsolicited so good on them for respecting my wishes.

I have done. No luck though.

Aveline Look at your e mails for 31/12/23 as that’s where the GN news round was sent to me.

True that some posters never get back to thank but don't you think that the replies are often very interesting in themselves and helpful?
I've learned much since discovering GN and mostly from other people's threads.
My own tend to be mundane but important or technical. No knicker stories 😂

I guess we have to give our e mail details when we join Bella so I suppose that’s why they sent it to our e mail addresses.

I’ve just got my copy of the roundup Bella and I don’t think it’s a scam.

I'm sorry if I have been guilty of this - I will check - my brain does not always function as it should but today is a good day

I think after 24 hours the OP should at least come back and say thanks for reading and goodbye if they have had enough of the answers.
It would be helpful to all if we knew what happened in the end, or what worked.

But at least all the helpful replies help others in a similar situation or are food for thought.
Do we have a figuee for the number of people on Grànsnet? To recognise more than 20 or so names would be extremely clever! There will always be "new" names popping up even though they have been on GN for many years.
