I can relate to this too. I try not to take it personally, but, like you guys, if everyone else who has posted replies to the OP has gotten a mention or a 'thanks' and mine seems to have been the only reply completely ignored, I have felt a little hurt, and 'what am I, chopped liver?'

Sometimes I don't have much to say but want to show support (the new 'hug' button will be great for this!) but like you guys I often take the time to type a thoughtful reply, so it's not nice when I feel like I've been snubbed... though I guess sometimes oversights can happen. If I ever start a thread, I really appreciate all of those who take the time to post and read their words with genuine interest, I always try to reply where I can, or at least acknowledge with a 'thanks' to show my appreciation... but, I guess not everyone does the same, and I/we maybe shouldn't take this to heart too much. Maybe others just aren't as sensitive as some of us, and don't realise that this type of thing can be upsetting? I'm sure it's not intentional, or necessarily even about us or what we've written... or so I keep telling myself!

Try not to let it put you off, I think for the most part this is a supportive community, with lots of thoughtful, kind, caring and understanding participants.
