    That happened to me at first. Once you start posting more (especially to other people's posts) and get your name out there, you get more responses. I was discouraged at first but it changed!
    Welcome to the site. Hang in there and you will be making friends!:flowerforyou:

    I think it has to do with how many people are on line at the time. Most may be in the chat room or having dinner . I greeted you, and would like to say that this is a great site for support, I don't think I could do this as well without everyones help here. :flowerforyou:

    Sorry you are not feeling welcome. You made this post just about a half hour after you joined. Sometimes it takes a while to get the hellos and welcome. There are times when it might be 45 minutes before some posts get read.
    We love newbies!!!
    Welcome and believe me, you will get responses. Some people just read and others respond.
    Good luck to you.:flowerforyou:

    hello. I also find it depends on if what you posts interests whoever is on line at the time. I know I view things other people post, but don't always post a reply just because I don't think I have a very informative answer or opinion. It doesn't mean what you post is not important. So keep on posting.

    There are way too many newcomers and it is almost impossible to meet and greet all of them so we're sorry if you felt ignored......

    Welcome to MFP!

    Don't worry, it happened to me when I 1st joined to, I think unfortunately some people just post at the same time as everbody else, making it hard for every post to get answered, as they get pushed farther on down as soon as a new post goes up! Please don't take it personally, we are all here to support each other, including you, and we really do want you to feel welcome! Just jump right on in with any questions you have!!

    I just joined earlier this morning, and I've been a bit self-absorbed today. Ok, really self-absorbed. And then I just spent an hour logging what I ate today. Have you done this yet??? Hopefully it will get much easier since my choice of foods doesn't vary all that broadly. Welcome to you!!

    It depends when you post during the day...I've only started a couple posts in the five months I've been here and they were durning the day so by the time people started to log on after work my posts were long bumped and with just one to two replies:frown: .....you can't take things personally on this web site, you will be in for trouble.... our members feel free to respond when they want to what they want and are comfortable giving advice and sharing their experiences, some you may disagree with. If you are sensitive you will end up taking things to heart and misinterpreting things being said that you shouldn't, start with an open mind, these are wonderful people here.:flowerforyou:

    Hi i hope all newcomers feel welcome here, I do agree with the post above and make sure you put up a pic, even if it is not a pic of you it could be *almost * anything even something you find off the web like my butterfly (but wait not MY butterfly lol) I put my pic up sometimes too but mostly hide it in my profile I like my butterfly better. Pics makes all of you blue people distinguishable. Good Luck -Heather-
