Featured CONGRATS @ How to get the best response

About time! Question is, will anyone use/heed it? I dunno but, worth a shot I'd say.
Nothing beat a try but failure!

 

For me this is a blond moment............

Can you explain?

 

????? I am not following you Judy, there is a new info sheet at top of furniture forum page.

 

OH! LOL! My apologies!

I never visit any one particular forum, only what comes up in "New Posts"..................I shall visit the Furniture forum...........

 

OK.....now I see it.............what can I say except "I do feel very stupid"!!

 

I am the exact opposite, i almost exclusively visit furniture forum with a glance at Home page on my way to this forum.

 

FALSE! I know you are looking for my "taste tests" comments in jewellery forum...

 

WRONG! Only when they hit the Home page! So, BEWARE! when your jewelry post gets featured!

 

That doesn't surprise me James.....I think most people only visit the forums that interest them........I only skip over a very few "new" posts.

 

Well, you know, info sheet can't hurt is the way i see this.
Take photographs, furniture is NOTORIOUS for fooling the camera, not sure why, it just is.
I have one of those super duper hi tech, hi def, large screen monitors i use for biz that helps a little but still not great for furniture and, many people today use their phone for taking/viewing photographs here and post those teeny tiny DARK thumbnail pics.

 

Seconded!

 

Thanks for mentioning the post, @James Conrad ! I also wonder whether anybody new would read it before posting, but... we'll see.

 

It's interesting to know how others approach keeping up with posts in this site. I tend to look at the notifications first, for updates to threads I'm following, or when people have tagged me. Since those don't always show everything, I also look under the "Watched Threads" link at the top of the page. After that I look in each separate forum but only randomly - mostly at thread titles that attract me. I do always check almost everything in the Books and the Ephemera and Photographs forums.

This all takes a while but is the way I keep up.

 

Way to go @clutteredcloset49! Just what the doctor ordered. Clear, concise and informative. I have a feeling that many new members, including myself when I joined, came a calling to find out about furniture. I have a touch screen laptop that allows me to expand most photos, but those thumbnails or cropped pictures can defeat even that.

 

You were not alone, I had no idea at first what this was about either. (Well now I do, after all the responses).

 

Dave - You are wonderful for doing this. I read the furniture posts to learn and new stuff seems to usually start out small. Perhaps you could Bold and Cap the tittle to get more attention?
