Hi

Thank you Katie


I enjoyed helping, even though I cam to the requests "late in the day"

My day on site usually begins well after most of you guys have gone home or are in bed :-D


An extra month's membership would be very welcome.




Jax ................ the requester has returned to the Upton thread ...... but she was actually a long time member who may be did not know about the Boards before.

Have any of these new members returned to any thread since the show?

Cannot say I have seen any apart from the ones who returned to the GR stand

Likewise RR.

Most of us would have been happy to try to help anyway !

I am glad it is worth a bit more to you :-D ;-)

I am perfectly happy if I do get a month extra ( which is worth more than 60p in my case). I don't 'expect' it and would have helped anyway, but I'm glad the weekend was a success and was just pleased to be able to find at least one piece of info that might have helped someone move forward ( or back lol).

Well done to the helpers who put in time and effort...as they always do.

:-D

I realise that it was not meant as such and was a gesture of your appreciation.

However, I really feel that your offer of 1 month's extra membership which is worth about 60p to me is quite insulting.

I do not need a gift of 60p - a sincere 'thank you', on it's own, would have been much better received.

I don't want to put a 'negative spin' on this as I am sure that it was kindly meant, BUT, I think the site needs to work on it's 'P.R.' skills.

Best wishes to all the 'team' and I am pleased that the weekend was a success.

Hi guys,

Once again a big thank you to all those who helped answer threads posted by people visiting us at WDYTYALive this weekend. As promised, we are now busy identifying all those who helped and will be extending your membership by 1 month.

We also wanted to thank you for all of your suggestions and feedback and for all of the help you offer to other members every day, not just this weekend. We hope that this weekend we have shown some new members the amazing work you do and will have encouraged them to participate in conversations on the boards.

Katie
