Well, that smacked me in the face

Well, that smacked me in the face

Wow, How is it that some posters can write a title and get many posts of support and I cant get jack on a whole paragraph. Is it about how familiar someone is or how much support they may offer in return or how well known they may have become? When I post it is out of pure anguish and seeking help. I am not in anyway having a go at the title with no words post, but it just smacked me in the face of maybe they are well known, here, and me not so much. This does not mean I dont need support. I'm taking leave to seek solace elsewhere. I dont offer alot in the way of support as I am not in that place of confidence to offer advice in return.

Re: Well, that smacked me in the face

hello again @Dark_Olena

I said I would be back and I am

I do hope that you are proud of your statement and for standing up for yourself.

You have several responses and have instigated feedback.

The manager is now wanting these ideas forwarded to the feedback area.

You have brought about the beginning of change for the future, to hopefully improve things moving forward

you stated that you aren't able to support others at the moment

your words will encourage others

I shall leave you in peace for now... Not sure if you are getting all of these notifications and might just want your space

whatever you decide thank you for being brave enough to write your feelings here

Hi @Dark_Olena

Just dropping by, as I haven't been able to read this whole thread until now (I was hosting Topic Tuesday last night when I saw these notifications come up).

I'm so sorry you had this experience - @Former-Member is right - this experience and your feedback is REALLY helpful for us. In the coming year we are looking at how we can improve the forums from a functionality perspective to mitigate these types of experiences happening.

I hope you keep persevering with the Forums, because it can be a great place to get support and connect with others whenever you need it.

I also hope you never have this negative experience with the forums again.

Thanks to everyone who has also responded here. Thanks @Former-Member for your solution focused post. I wanted to make sure we capture it and don't lose it, so I hope you post this in the feedback section too (which may also encourage others to share their ideas!)

Take care,

Nik
