I like to look at all the cards and challenges, and try to leave a comment. I don't leave comments on blogs because I am put off by all the badges and flashing bits.

I don't think this is a problem on this forum, but I have seen on other forums where people just come on to post their challenges cards and don't take an active part in the forum. So they will never take the time to wish someone Happy Birthday - which I think is courteous and very important. All they are interested in is self-promotion.

I must re-iterate I don't find this a problem on the JS forum. However the cards are displayed will make no difference to me I shall still look.

I do hope I haven't offended anyone, I have learnt such a lot from the challenge posters with their adventurous use of colour and composition, and from the members who make a card with love for Mum, Dad, grandchildren etc. Challengers and members may come to cardmaking from different perspectives, but all the cards have merit to me.
