I replied to a new member last week - it was 5 days since she originally asked her question ![Angry >:(](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/angry.gif)
Why the angry face CLKD? No-one should (be made to) feel guilty for not seeing or replying to every post! After all - you missed it too! I see some posts and I'm not interested in them - especially in the chat sections which I hardly ever read. Yes a hug is great.
As I said before - we all have busy lives and do our best and are all members like anyone else - we are all equal - no hierarchy, no official "responders", no obligation. Sometimes I only manage 3 replies in a day or visit - and sometimes only one - and some can take up 30 mins to write especially if you are looking stuff up, and some days....I may not even visit the forum or even several days.....same for other members.
The best idea is for the OP to bump the post (except that emoticon is one of my pet hates - silly!) - and then it would get to the top.
Newbies - how to do this - just find your original post and click on reply and type BUMP into the box and post - lo and behold it comes to the top!
