Re: Ignored
Being ignored on a forum means absolutely nothing to me. It's being ignored in conversatio by my real friends that is annoying.For example if you're talking about something and the other person interrupts and starts saying his own thing without letting you finish. That irritates the hell out of me and I often raise my voice slightly, put my index finger up to regain his attention and say "Let me finish!"
I detest rude and loud people who demand all the limelight as if nobody else's conversation is important.

That was really sad to read and l feel really guilty. I think the only way to get noticed, is by posting. Which you have and now we know you exist!
I do hope you like it on here but if l were you, l would be off down to Coogee beach. Are you near there? My son lives a 10 minute walk from there and he goes there a lot with his partner and new baby.
I’ll tell him to look out for you! I hope you enjoy this forum.

Thanks
so sorry you are feeling ignored, it is most likely because members do not realise you are a new member here.If you click on the link that Meg gave you for the Introduction Thread - https://www.over50sforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5
- then click on New Thread in the orange box above the list of posts, you can then post your introduction message for all to see. I'm sure our members will give you a great welcome to the site.

I am sorry Keezoy feels like this, and I'll put my hand up and say it's probably partly my fault.
This gentleman asked me to befriend him.
Please try to see things from a woman's point of view here.
Keezoy had only been here 2 days at the time. He had never posted, made no introduction, and never even spoken to me. I had no idea who he was, so felt it safer to say No.
*
Keezoy, I tried to PM you and explain why it made me a little nervous, but you could not receive PM's yet, so there was nothing I could do.
I am sure you are a very nice man, but we can't get to know you if you don't post.
I am sorry for bringing this out in the open, and also if I upset you, but I was playing safe, that's all. No harm meant.
