Ahhh...just figured out the 'Quote' button. Think I'm getting the hang of this stuff....
Welcome back!
Glad to hear you're figuring it out.
BTW, soon after I first came here, I asked about the authenticity of an older Chloe bag and nobody responded at all!
At first, I was slightly worried that I might be being ignored because I was new, but then I realised that people had responded fine to my other posts and that not that many people know about the older and/or more obscure Chloe bags.
At that time, all authentity questions (for all brands) were posted as entire threads in the Authenticate This! forum and if nobody answered your question, it just slid down the board.
So, from then on, I made a point of answering any questions, even when I didn't have a clue about the brand, by saying 'I'm afraid I'm not a xxx expert, but hopefully someone will be able to help you soon! ' in order to bump the thread and to try to prevent people from feeling ignored; like you and I did.
However, now all authenticity questions, for each brand, take place on the one thread, if we answer all the questions (even those we have no clue about) we run the risk of swelling already enormous threads into a real monsters!
Hope this explains things, a little!
BTW, I agree with TwistedEmily and BA, that calling Swankymama, 'Swanky what's-her-face', is a bit rude! Especially as she's just doing her (again, unpaid, as far as I know) job.
