Ever get the feeling that you are on the entire forums ignore list?
Like nothing you say and no advice you give matters and has fallen on blind eyes?
For instance, and this is one variation of many of these types of things that may or may not happen to you, too, someone asks a question in a thread, you answer it, then someone else comes in after you and answers it as well and then the one who asked the question thanks THAT person instead of you? Like your not even there and never answered them?
I'm not one to nit pick about such trivial things but it's been happening a lot lately.
I'm just venting, that's all, has anyone else gotten that feeling, even if it's just from time to time?

Not really. The fact is that a lot of people will click on the last posted comment. They might never see previous postis because they are too lazy or just don't care to read the entire thread.

Perhaps, but I would think it would be only natural to read a post after yours when you've asked a question as there's a good possibility that it could contain the answer.
That's what I do anyway.

Re: Ever get the feeling that you are on the entire forums ignore list?
Why are the first and fourth post blank on this thread?

Re: Ever get the feeling that you are on the entire forums ignore list?
Well, if what I asked is true and it also applies to my ignore list, than the second, third and fifth posts are blank to me, I just blew your mind didn't I?
Nah, i'd never do that to you guys.  In fact i've always maintained that the ignore list should be stricken from the forums features.

Re: Ever get the feeling that you are on the entire forums ignore list?
Well, I tend to read from the point where I last posted but I'm sure there are plenty who just go to the end and then work back until they read a post with the answer.
I'm aware that there is a group of people who go way back on this forum. They seem to know each other from forums that pre-date this one, so at odd times the atmosphere here can feel a little bit like a clique. There is some element of being on the outside even though I have been posting here for quite a few years. A person just has to live with it.

That sums up well what I was trying to express, that one can be a member here for years, in my case almost a decade, and still feel like a stranger at times. But I guess that's not surprising considering that there's been thousands of new members who've joined over the years and the one's who were here way back when might not be around here anymore.
But I still like to think that i've got friends around here.
