Hi Casie,
i think you have made a very good point, thankyou.
Ezinda, My initial post was 'is the forum being used to its best potential'......I never said 'is it living up to its full potential'
the latter, I believe suggests I was being confrontational.
The main points I wanted to make initially was :
1. There are over 6000 members but very few are ever online which I think would suggest the forum is underused, which I think that's very sad.
2. Can we, as a community, make it more inviting, encouraging pwp, their carers, families and friends to use the facility.
You commented 'So, I would turn the question back to you - what are the things that members of this community can do to make things more welcoming here?'. I believe we are saying the same thing here.
At no point did I intend to be confrontational or political.
I am happy to discuss the above with anyone via PM, but feel the thread is now deflecting from my original post, which I believe was an innocent comment to encourage discussion and ideas.
i have learned a very valuable lesson and apologise to anyone I have offended, that was never my intention.
