Thanks Dea, so you'll post on a thread if you have contact with a poster? Wouldn't half save me some time too!!

It's not going to put me off...too many nice messages received. Just thought this idea may help a bit.

Love. Cx.

Keep up the good work cynthia.
I know I was very grateful to be pointed in the right direction when I first ventured onto the board.

As we are all too well aware. some people on here have no manners so I wouldn't worry about the odd snotty comment from someone who doesn't know any better.
On their behalf, thank you

Hi Cynthia,

PLEASE do keep up the good work.!!

I too have received 'hate mail' in the past but it has been far outweighed by the excited 'thank you's which I have received.

Put it to one side and carry on with what you are doing !!!

I will gladly post if I receive a pm. !

Best wishes,

Dea Xxx

P.S. - are you the same Cynthia who has to keep averting her eyes on Ginny's thread (Tee hee!!)

Hi everyone, there are often messages on here about the fact that people are not returning to their threads to find the work done for them and, as many know, I send messages out to help those who may be struggling with the site.


This week, I received an unpleasant pm from someone I had tried to help . They had replied by pm to helpers and objected to the message I sent, but how was I to know they had already been in touch with their helpers?


So.....I just wondered if helpers would be willing to post on threads if they receive a pm from the poster as it would give others an idea of whether the work has been seen.


Or is there something else we could do?


It's just so nice to get a message from someone who had no idea that they would get so much help from all of you and would have missed out on what had been found for them. Makes it all worthwhile.


Thanks :))

Cx.
