@Joannie - you are definitely not alone on the forum or invisible/ignored - only 4 of your posts have had less than 10 comments - and none of them have no replies. Some posts have been started many times by many people as well, so using the search button may get answers re side effects of specific drugs/treatments from previous posts and putting a reply there will bring that thread back to the fore for other newbies to jump onto again.
I have been on fishing forums for 15+ years and am well known in kayak fishing circles - and my posts can have thousands of 'looks' - yet only 10+ comments. Most fishing forums do NOT have 'like or dislike' buttons either - so you just know people have read the posts & not bothered replying. I've always found this to be disappointing but not disturbing .... I then realise that I don't always reply to every post that I look at either. ;) We mustn't take this personally or it can do your head in.
We are lucky on BCNA to have the 'Like Awesome LOL' buttons .... cos if you add the number of Likes etc to the number of replies, that increases the 'responses' markedly! ;)
Personally, I reckon we need at least one more button, a 'compassionate' face - to indicate that we 'feel' for the person or are 'with them' going thru the hard bits when we may not be up to adding written response, especially where the 'Like Awesome & LOL' buttons just aren't appropriate to the conversation. Hence, NO response is left at all. :(
@Giovanna_BCNA .... can we consider a 'new button' to indicate compassion/understanding, where Like, Awesome & LOL just aren't appropriate as a button response to a post? (Not necessarily a 'Sad/sorry' face ..... Maybe like this one or something similar? :/ )
Take care out there everyone xxx
