I went and looked at your posts. You seem to have a lot of responses to almost all of them. One has close to thirty in it. Granted, the last one before this has zero, but all in all, you do seem to have a lot of replies overall.

Sometimes people post and it gets a lot of responses, other times people get maybe one or two or none at all. It likely has nothing to do with settings, more like a hit or miss thing. It can be hard to say what types of posts will or will not get responses... but I think that posts that have a specific, to the point question tend to get more active participants than ones that are not very clear. In your one post that had no replies, when I read it I was not really sure what you were looking for in a response so had I seen it when you first posted it I would have not likely responded. Nothing personal, I just would not have understood what you wanted and figured maybe you just wanted to vent and were not really after a reply. Also, not sure what time you posted that but time could be a factor as well. Plus this forum has people from all over the place so time zones do not always match up and sometimes you just have to wait awhile before someone responds. Then to, it has been kinda more quiet than normal here. Not sure what's up with that, but it has not been as busy the last few days... at least when I drop in there seems to be reduced activity.

I think for everyone sometimes ppl don't reply. Also since we are online at different times we miss things.

I wondered if some members might be put off replying by your username? We have trouble with sock puppets here, as all social forums do, and so your name might trigger non-responses aligned with that association. However people are responding to you in this thread, and you don't appear to be sock puppeting here.

I get absolutely zero responses on weekends and Mondays. It was always like that. Means nothing; don't take it personally.

why care? people will read what you write or not and just go about their business. whether they are compelled to reply or not is just up to the winds of what they are currently thinking about.
anyway. i am glad i just get to write my posts here without the obstructions of replies to have to answer, so i guess it's all in where your desires lay.

you need others to complete you, and i need everyone to get out of me so i can be wholly me.

Or a user who opens another account to make posts pretending to be a different person to support their own claims making it look like another person is supporting them and on their side and some do it to argue with themselves pretending a bunch of people are disagreeing with each other and they do it to make trouble to get other people involved to start a forum drama.

A way of telling if someone is a sockpuppet is if someone joins the forum and the first thing they do is defend the person. That is more likely someone is one when they do that unless they know that person and got them to join here to defend them. But only the mods would know because they have the tools to check them out.

@op: it might have nothing to do with it, but, still, i would avoid all-caps titles if i were you. it can come across as angry/shouting or trying to draw more attention than everybody else

This is official. You have been noticed. :lol: However, I don't think I've seen your previous posts, but I don't log on as often as I'd like to, so I miss a lot of posts.
