As a member i feel for those whom post on forums and not get the response or answers in a timely manner.

Maybe i missed it but as a member on other forums there was hints for posting such as breaking up huge paragraphs which are hard to read and then often get less or few responses. 

some post  maybe be better to label as a vent - advice needed- questions.

 so many with either Too long title or too simple example ... "relationship"  "need friend "  or one word titles in general.

Not sure if some did not read how site works but so many new people  seem to think members can   message etc.  I feel some people might have been or are discouraged when few answered or responded .... if that happens many move on to other sites.

Hiya @toughTiger6481 i appreciate you bringing these concerns up and your thoughts on it!

I agree, it is disheartening seeing the replies getting delayed at times, and some posts not getting enough traction or helpful responses. Certainly can be discouraging for people reaching out for support via forums! :( 

It's a hit and miss with forums, people who come across some posts, do, and then not everyone stays to read, comprehend and respond effectively, so there's a disparity in the number of posts being made versus the replies in them, I feel.


We do have a Needs Reply Team that is actively trying to ensure everyone gets a reply and asap, also a Forum Engagement Challenge going on currently that I feel has been helpful in shortening the Needs reply queue in a more timely manner lately, but of course, there's always room for more support and suggestions here! 

What suggestions do you have to amp up engagement in the forums so that more people recieve replies, and more promptly?



Tagging people who should definitely be part of this feedback/suggestion sharing, being closely involved in forum leadership- @cheerymango @tommy @bookworm274 and could offer their valuable insight and/ or pass on your feedback to the relevant personnel! 




Alsooo, I see you in multiple threads, and would like to take this opportunity to thank you for offering support to our peers here, you are quite helpful around here and it's greatly appreciated!💛
