Wah, Wah - I’m feeling ignored . . .

I posted about my new bike here and got zero responses: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=17635

Maybe I need to post a photo? Well, here are the links to the bike and upgraded stuff:

Posted about my fundraising effort here and asked for feedback here: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=17201
Got zero responses. Doesn’t anyone have feedback/suggestions?

Anyway, just having a little pity party over here. Feel free to ignore as usual . . . .

Anyone want to see my Italy cycling photos? PM me . . .

nothing like killing your own thread, eh? I do it all the time so I feel your pain. My posts (on other boards) are ignored so often that I finally just quit posting.

Feel free to ignore this

Well, we can't have you feeling ignored when you made such a special purchase and especially when you posted with such enthusiasm ! Congratulations. No need for pictures here - I also have a Ruby and know exactly what you have. I also remember the feeling of riding on my well-fitted new carbon bike. You do feel like you can fly with alot more comfort. I also had a heavier steel sort of ill-fitted bike that seemed more of a struggle. Many happy trails to you, and it sounds like you're gearing up already and raring to put in those miles.

I would love to see your Italy photos. I think you should just post a few and we all can see them.

Feel free to ignore as usual
I got a kick outa this

I'd also like to extend my congrats on the new bike. I also think you should post Italy pics! I'd love to see them and just dream...sigh.

Just like a newspaper, use the headline to grab attention. If you want feedback, say so in the headline. More people are apt to read and respond to that.

Why don't you put your fundraising website as part of your signature? I don't always read all threads, but I do tend to click on a link if it's a signature from an established member.

Thanks so much for all the nice replies. Sorry for being such a whiney-butt . . .

I haven't been able to post my photos here as they are too large (too high of resolution, I guess). I'm pretty much technologically ignorant, so if you could give me some "Advice for Dummies"-style advice on how to get the photos on here I'd love to hear it!

Thanks again. And, uforgot, here's my new signature:
