What attracts you - question, category, or user-name?

Not quite sure where to post this, but here goes.

Since the recent changes to AB, a few people (me included) have said that the orange coloured question titles displayed in the 'latest posts' box on the right are now less easy to spot, and that got me thinking.

What encourages you to read, and possibly answer a question? The question itself, the category, or the last user-name displayed in the grey box?

Luna, you're right, sadly this site will never be the same as it was a few years ago, but that's simply because life changes and we have to accept that.

So what's with all this 'deserve'? It's done, it's over, so just stop. Get your head out of the mopes, put it behind you (oops ....not your head!), pick up where you left off in happier times and start putting your two-pennyworth in again. You never know, eventually you may even be tempted to give us a tune or two sometime. As I said - it's your choice, and choosing to continue to be your own worst enemy would be a very silly choice indeed, so it's up to you.

I have never really wanted to hurt you or anyone else and probably unlike many people that thought sits in my gut and head unfortunately for a long time.
I have always thought you were a fair, understanding, kind, considerate person and nothing has changed- you still are. I have tried your patience for no good reasons but I have found wanting things to be the way they were will never be and it's causing me a lot of sadness. I foresee no tunes but thank you for the encouragement.
If I do enter into R&S again or any other part of this site it will be of a reticent approach until I can deal better to understand my topsy-turvy emotional state.

We have to accept that we can't always have what we want - life just isn't like that. I wish you well and I hope you feel better very soon.

Thank you Naomi, I suppose if we had everything we want then there wouldn't be the compulsion or notion to want it in the first place.
I think that makes sense.

[naomi24]

Yes, that makes sense. :o)
