Are you serious!!!! Talk about a diva.

As my coworkers say when one of us is being unreasonable (incredibly childish in this case) - PUT YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES ON AND GROW UP!!!

Don't worry carolyn I think she is referring to the thread .

these type of announcements really get my panties in a bunch

i could start a new thread complaining about that, or i could just sit here with a wedgie

Lately ive been having the same problem. Yesterday I needed help NOW and posted a question, I worded the topic 3 different ways, bumped my posts, still no answers. I used to get about 5 responses within 15 minutes. I guess that's what happens when the community grows, like in a big city vs. a small town.

not sure when you posted, but for most of the day, i couldn't even get on cakecentral...my browser would say it was "done", but yet the screen would be blank...maybe that's the reason your post wasn't responded to.

another thing: each time you post the same question worded differently, you are actually knocking yourself OFF the top of the list. make sure to put what type of help you need in minimal words in the heading...that way it definitely catches more eyes and tells us immediately if it's something we might be able to put our .02 in.

According to the join date in your profiles most of you joined after the revamp of the site. A long while back there would be rows and rows of cakes that had been uploaded. It was nice because you could glance through the thumbnails and pick several that you wanted to look at closer and leave comments or ask questions. Now it is harder to see the most recent uploads except for the very few on the home page and most of us don't take the time to look for the others. There was much ado when the change was made and so many of us asked for the old format because the comments were not be made as before. Not sure what is happening with the replies. I, too, hardly ever get many replies even when I am asking for Help asap. That is okay. I know everyone is busy (and FYI I did do many searches using various words and didn't find the answer). I was disappointed when one of last posts was a prayer request for a one year old. There were very few that took time to post a reply but many more viewed it. This little girl truly needs prayers so as I did in the past I posted asking for them. All that I am saying is that it IS different here from what it was a while back. I really don't want any negative comments telling me to get a thicker skin. Mine is plenty thick thank you so if you feel you must go ahead. Something else that was common in the past was when someone like this says she is leaving everyone wished her luck and welcomed her to come back instead of jumping on her for being too sensitive. As you can see she has posted thousands of posts and help at least that often. I say we say thank you for all of her participation, I will miss you and I hope you will come back sometimes. Why make it a bitter exit where she won't feel welcomed back should she decide to drop in and say hello.

I have not been able to get on the site very often lately, and when I do actually make it, the page often freezes and I must leave.

Also on the 'bumping your own posts' - If I see the thread has 3 or 4 posts on it (especially if the last post is the originator), I assume your question has already been answered. If it was just the original single post, I would click and see if I could help.
