The newsletter is 'the most active topics" on the board. You might try using clearer language in your title to get people to read them? You are wanted here. {HUGS}

Thanks so much Patrice. I'll try and do as your instructions direct. Great site made better by knowing what to do.

Is it a timing issue or does someone decide what is deemed worthy of the other posting page? Just wondering?

Same here with me as well. I post and receive PM's from folks but seldom does it get on the Board. I think I'm missing getting some of the newsletters though since I see things on here that I never had previous knowledge of even though the person posting says they are replying to something. I did put the new addy in my address book so I'd get all the newsletters from the Board.

Yea, I've wondered the same thing. I had not thought of the timing, but maybe you're on to something. I have days when I have more time than others. Days where I only read bc of time, days where I am so nosey I have to spend more time here. All in all I love the board and love to read others comments, good or different. I don't feel like there are bad comments, just different. I am so glad that we don't all think alike.

Patrice, thanks so much for the information. I had no idea that I was missing so much. Now to figure out how to make the board web address a shortcut--way beyond my computer skills!.

Funny, we learn something new every day. I only have read the stuff that comes to us daily...you called the digest??? Anyway, looks like I'll have to go to the main board and get more info. Have enjoyed everything that I've read:)

I don't think I've ever gotten a newsletter. I just check in when I can (after working, and running around with my 2 year old DD) and making dinner and getting stuff sorted out at home.

Maybe it's a title or time of day? I've posted a few threads that haven't gotten much feedback, and one that did get a lot. I've no idea!

I've experienced the same thing on occasion, but other times my posts have gotten a lot of "action." I've noticed that posts with an attention-getting subject line seem to, well, get more attention :-) (Case in point: this post, titled "How Come?")

Sorry missed on the cut and paste. I don't understand what that means.
