that i dont know about. This site used to be crazy with tonnes of comments for most posts. Now it seems like there are lots of views but no actual responses or the responses are very few. Is it just me? If there is another place people are going to discuss how decor etc. please let me know. I need lots of help and suggestions.
thanks.

I think with the economic downturn a lot of people hold off their renovation or design work.
Hey guys!!! Jeep! How's it going girl? A triathalon?? WOW!!! I'm lucky if I make it to the Y more than once a week!! I'm sad that this site isn't how it used to be....I miss all the regulars. I'm hoping to pop by more often...and hopefully do a little posting with pics of the changes we've made to the house.
Take care,
Mel
I haven't been here for a long time but used to visit daily. we built 2 houses in 2 years so I was always looking for decorating ideas but now they are done I am not so busy decorating. I always enjoyed this site but when they made so many changes to it I left it just got to frustrating. I do see some familiar names and will check back often to see what everyone is up to. Mostly now I spend my time at the gym and hiking and running outside as I am training for a Triathlon so not to much time to sit here.
Great to hear from you, Northern Miner! Lis.
That other site has now shut down so maybe some of us will wander back here. Would be nice if Lessismore also shows up so I can contact her. Lessy - are you there? Donnasinc - where are you?
So glad to hear that you're finding the forums easy to use, Chickadee! Our design editors are working hard each day to create the great magazine and Online TV content people love, which is why we web editors draw your attention to recent and evergreen design advice they've provided. But the best advice often comes from home decor fans like yourselves. It's been great to see users like yourself, Mrs. Peacock, CarrieinSK, Joser, kerriann and others weighing in on everyone's design dilemmas. We really appreciate that interaction! We'll continue to promote the forums among the design community and our Twitter and Facebook followers, too! Thanks again, Lis.
I have found the same thing. I read more than I post, but I used to enjoy reading all the answers that would be sent in. I would like to see the professional designers on this web site, coming up with some more original and specific ideas instead of referring us to past ideas they have written. Since the changes were made on this forum it has become more easy to use.
Thanks for getting back to me. I just recall posting in the past and one of my posts got around 25 to 30 hits. There was more of a discussion going on at the time. Now it just seems to be fairly quiet or it takes a few days to get responses...feedback and suggestions.
Thanks so much for posting! We're still one of the most active decorating and design forums in Canada. As editors, Gwen McAuley and Jen Murray and I try to weigh in with House & Home resources and advice as often as possible. Is there a specific decorating challenge we can help you with? Thanks again, Lis.
Alot of people left when they were making changes to the website. There is another site they went to but, with me being a lurker and just nosing around, is not very busy either. In fact one of the threads is about how quiet it is there
