Same here nut. I usually just look at the last few pages of latest posts and new discussions. I try to answer any threads with zero replies to get the ball rolling, too, as many of those are from new arrivals and I want to encourage them to come back.
Yes, I've noticed that....it doesn't give much encouragement.
I do the same as Nut - can't be doing with notifications - I get too many emails as it is!
When I come onto the Forum I check for any Messages then have a look at threads I've posted on recently, then go to latest posts and new discussions. Try to answer any queries if I can and have a chat to others if I have the time.
Got too much gardening and other stuff to do to live on here.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Sounds about right to me Dove. I've 'met' some nice people on here. I've had my queries sorted and answered other peoples' queries. Late evening conversations have been welcome.
Anything I don't want to get involved with is easy to avoid.
I do much the same as Dove and nut, and like Bob, I try and answer a zero reply question if I'm able to but I don't always know the answers! Lots of people seem to just need an answer to a query and don't post regularly but it's nice to encourage new posters wherever possible. Don't leave Zoomer- I think Verdi's right. We're out in our gardens more in the summer and sometimes too tired for much in the evenings - or is that just me!!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I check my 'followed threads and then see if I can answer any queries. I like any id queries but if nutcutlet has got there b4 me I know the id has been sorted!!
Going to put my penniesworth in because I think all you 'knowledgable' gardeners do a grand job with your answers to queries from posters, new or old. Let's face it, you put up with know-nothing me.
From what I see, all genuine posters are welcomed and assisted as much as possible.
I agree with many- often people are doing much more outside in the summer. That period of bad weather in the spring had everyone posting so often- nothing else to do- we all know housework is banned- also gave some plenty of time to bake- is that lovely Mr H back on Tuesday?
Frank however always managed to post on what's weather like thread- I do hope it's just he is compterless.
Sure we will get many back once autumn comes- another heatwave promised first
Zoomer don't leave or we will overload you with pms

Zoomer, you are not allowed to leave.
