Boy, the South Beach Board sure is

different from this one. I posted as a newbie there today, and as of a little while ago there had been 40-some views to my post. Not a single person bothered to welcome me. That would NEVER happen here!

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

We WOULD get the friendliest board award I bet!
It doesn't hurt my feelings, because I've posted on enough other boards to know that ours is unique (Yeah for us!!), but I do find it annoying. Boards moan and groan about their participation falling off, but often they don't do anything to encourage new posters to feel a part of the group or to hold current posters' attention.
I just thought I'd point out that once again, we are the best!

In the outline view, right under the title of the post, it will tell you how many posts and how many times they've been viewed. If you have only one post, then you know all the

I'm glad everyone here is so great about welcoming people.

I don't even remember getting an official welcome - I just dove into the middle of a conversation and told people to visit my website if they were interested in finding out more about me.
Check back over there in a few days - someone probably will have responded by then. There are lots of newbies signing on over there every day. If you saw one of the check-in threads, there are more than 130 members hopping on and off. There are a handful of very knowledgeable members (one who posts infrequently is an MD and the mom of young children, another is a speech pathologist, another is a retiree on Cape Cod, another is either a nurse taking advanced level courses or is studying for her nursing degree - she's practically a neighbor - lives 2 towns away from me). There are also a few who haven't done enough research and so are catching on to the program more slowly. And there are Atkins guerillas who stop by to stir up trouble; I think I encountered one last week and gave her a piece of what's left of my mind. Couldn't help it - such an arrogant twit (her, not me..hehehe..)
Heck, Rhonda, I'd welcome you anywhere!
Have a good night!

Aww, that's so sweet of you! Thank-you! I've noticed that some of the people do seem very knowledgeable, and the board

Still, there's always a chance you don't get as many posts as you hoped or sometimes get none, especially when posting off-topic to share something else about your lives. It happened to me here just yesterday (55+ views but only two responses), and on a board where I've been a member for over 4 years. It's puzzling when some off-topic but sharing posts get a ton of responses while others don't.
