Says something about the level of engagement on here by members, when the Post of the Month on an extremely important topic of potential benefit to many members only gets 5 thanks. A great post and much deserving of the award.

Thank you, an unexpected reward.

Whilst I'm never shy to give my opinion :oops:, it's good to know that some of my comments are of use to the wider community.

I agree with Richard Frost about the level of overt thanks given to posts - I have seen some good posts gain only one thank you, whilst a smart follow-up to a worthy post often gets more thanks than the original. I also see people say thanks in a post, but not to actually use the system, which is a shame.

However, it is what it is and hopefully the recognition given is enough to keep the community active - which is the important thing. I know there are those who think we should steer away from "uncomfortable" subjects or just use the forums for things specific to cashback and/or imutual, but I believe that the forums are a USP for imutual. let's keep posting! :thumbup:
