What about if some members do not go on to the forum on a regular basis and when they do come on they may like to look at anyone that has recently joined and would like to say hello? I myself don't come on here that often so when I look through to see whats new I see newbies and like to say hello.

Paul

Paul, If you start with the oldest newbie first - up to a week I think is the rule - then it won't be a problem, because your last welcome will be to the newest newbie..

.......Yes - I see a couple more brand new members are now half way down page 2 !  

  Deep breaths: just like the therapist said, H.C!

havent been in there for ages, cant be arsed after, as alexandjen said, got pulled up for it or "reminded" probably in my case.

 But as then and still now i dont see a massive issue tbh.(dont see it as i havent been in there, yes i know) given how any forum works the busyer it is the quicker a post will drop down, as a newbie i never "expected" anything or was too concerned if i was welcomed or not really. And given the post count of welcomers they will always feel loved and invited in.

What i did find very disappointing when i joined, when posted a problem in general help, no tinker replyed, i bumped it again and still nothing. To the point on the third bump(iirc might be wrong) that Mr dtm apologised(but still didnt offer advise).

I know now that i posted well before peak time and it just got missed, this happened recently with forestsfinest(an extreme case i know) but because of this i now check, when possible, the next couple of pages for no replys and often find them on pages 3 and 4.

Admin will know better than i, but personally i feel this is a far bigger upset, esp as it alwlays seems to happen to newbies. Forum rules say( i did read that bit) dont bump your own post to keep it at the top.
Dont know, maybe its just me. ?

I actually "bumped" Forest's to get it back up there  . I know "rules is rules" but don't see too much of a prob if the OP bumps due to non-response.

I know you did HC, and rightly so. And yes i agree re bumping.

 Somebody/we need to check the lower pages as well imho.

And as with any rule there is always an exception.
Not digging at Mark by the way. Just re read.
