Popular Post Guest Posted February 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2016 So, what you are looking for is a thankyou. Is that so unreasonable to expect? At least some form of acknowledgement for someone that has gone out of their way to help! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOAC Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm with Steve on this. However, there's nowt so queer as folk and then again there might be circumstances which are preventing her from replying. She could have been run over by a bus. Jayjug, rest satisfied at that.

Chalky9 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 The lady has been a member since 2012, made her one and only posting on Jan 22nd 2016 and hasn't been back on the forum since. That's the trouble with the internet, there are just too many sources of information. You discover a problem, you go flailing around Google trying to find solutions, clutching at straws, posting here and there. Then you find the answer and forget about all the other people you asked for help! Perhaps "thanks in advance" would have sufficed, though Jaydug did go the extra mile! 4 Quote Suffolk Coast, Bailey U3 Vigo, Hyundai Tucson Premium SE 2. 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp100425ev Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I wasn't suggesting that a thankyou wasn't necessary, just clarifying the reason for the post. A thankyou is always appreciated after providing some assistance, but it doesn't happen very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I think it's nice to know if the info that you've provide has helped (or even hindered). It also confirms to others who might have a similar problem that a working solution is available. It's the interchange of ideas, queries and solutions that make this site so useful to most of us and knowing what works and what doesn't adds to the pool of information. Feed back is helps everyone. I don't think that anyone who tries to help does it because they want a thanks, although that's just good manners IMO, Something that's sadly lacking nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravon42 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I always acknowledge a helpful posting (I think! ) Some people go the extra mile to help.

chrisn7 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Jay, I did notice on the helpful images you posted that you have a CC sticker of some sort on the front window. Some while ago, I had an owners club badge on my window in the same place - it was one of those that clings on like the old tax disc holders - no glue. I later removed it, but the damage was done and a whole load of spidery crazing developed where it had been, and kept on spreading till I sold the van.

Jaydug Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 So, what you are looking for is a thankyou. No - not at all. If the lady had come back and said her windows were completely different to mine, that would have been ok by me. To my mind asking a question on a forum isn't much different to you asking a question in a bar or a room full of people. The individual who answers your question wouldn't expect you to turn your back on them - would you? A little bit of courtesy costs nothing. 4 Quote Citroen C5-X7 Tourer+Avondale Rialto 480/2 https://jondogoescaravanning.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydug Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 you have a CC sticker of some sort on the front window. a whole load of spidery crazing developed where it had been, I remove it every five years and apply a new one. They peel off quite easily. But I know what you mean and thank you for your concern.

Durbanite Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Just to add. There is an Isabella awning for sale on the classifieds on CT and we responded on behalf of a friend and even left an email address, but they never contacted us. So much for wanting to sell the goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky9 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) It is quite possible that the person forgot to check to receive notifications and now cannot find the forum. In my experience, the notification system doesn't work. On several occasions I have asked for a notification and got nothing, unless I'm doing it wrong. .

WispMan Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I like to think that even if the OP does not come back, then a future member will want and finds that information. So the replies are not wasted. Look at eBays forums called Community, and they are full of knowledgable advice and people never coming back to acknowledge the help. It is the way of the internet but lets carry on replying anyway, just in case the poster comes back. 1 Quote Graham Unless otherwise stated all posts are my personal opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat_at Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 A little bit of courtesy costs nothing. I totally agree Jaydug. Some people obviously were not dragged up proper like wot we wos. 1 Quote I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm terrified of it! If you don't swear when you're driving, you're not paying attention!
