 I have been so busy lately that I have not been by the site lately.
I love what you have done. Just about every thing I wished for is now here. The one I think that I really hoped for was the feedback after answering. We had no way of knowing if we had any impact on the questioner or if we were way off base.
I often worried about some of the young people that were wading through relationship hell for the first time. I am happy that we have a small chance of closure so to speak or at least what happened next. It was disheartening not knowing if they ever got out of the pinches they were in.
Again- awesome job!

So far had a really poor response to the newsletter so I was waiting until we had over 100 subscribers before I sent anything out. If growth of it continues to be slow I'll probably ditch the idea! This is how this site works I roll out features quickly, some get picked up, some don't :-)

 I saw the new scoring almost instantly and am quite chuffed to be in the top ten! I remember when I first came on this website I showed my ex some of the answers I put down and he started scoring them all as poor, don't know why!!! Obviously I saw my mark go down, but since then its gradually risen and its good because you know that your advice is helping, more importantly the person who actually posted the question has appreciated your feedback....
I agree with something you mentioned on an earliar thread, it was about people receiving poor votes and being dishearted by it, someone suggested you take the poor vote away as it can stop people from using the site, I remember you replied that this can benefit the site as 'bad advisors' leave.
In short what I'm trying to say is the scoring system is a brilliant way of controlling the site. Most people would like to see their user names in the top ten, therefore they are motivated to keep answering the questions and give good advice. If your score goes up then you can take pride in yourself and if it starts to go down then you know you are out of your depth and you re-evaluate your answers. Therefore the scoring keeps everybody happy...
Keep up the good work Andrew x
P.S I also meant to ask you about the weekly newsletter, what exactly is sent to you, is it on right now or not?
