Do you take the advice of other members??

I pick through it and figure it out what sounds about right and what doesn't. When I first started here I was given some questionable advice that I am glad I didn't go with. One was get as many friends as possible but don't worry about not responding to their posts. You just want them for exposure. I didn't take that tip and I am glad I didn't. I see the friendship as an agreement to be a dependable member who will look at each and every post they put out. Of course we can't respond to all since all may not pertain to us. However we can at least read them to consider it or not. So again I listen all advice, but I think it through before I decide to use it or not.

here in mylot like anywhere else I don't ignore advices and always think about everything I was told carefully, If an advice is useful; I use it either it's coming from an old or young, more experienced or less experienced.

hi there , I take it in and try to follow it up , but to be honest it is best to find your own way about and get to know how some people write and what interests you , I find that if I am interested in a discussion that I can write more of an answer to it ( if you get what I mean ) I think we all get better as we get used to the site , Good luck , I really love this site xx

For me, it depends on the advice given. I have seen those discussions in which someone is asking for advice, & others where the discussion started is advice in itself. In both cases, a lot of ideas do get pointed out, some good, some questionable, but at the same time, what might not seem like good advice to me may actually be good advice for someone else. When first starting on MyLot I had started a topic seeking help on finding good discussions to reply to. It was also at the time that new features & things were added, & probably one of my first discussions. All in all, as a community, problems that might seem unsolvable to one person - well, someone usually does think of at least some kind of solution that makes whatever problems you're having more bearable, & sometimes, someone will actually come up with a good way to solve the problem.

Yes most of them I do but there are some that I have read where I know it is rubbish I have been a member now nearly 5 Months and I know which ones are Genuine and which are not

yes, I do take advice from other myLot members. I find those advices to be practical most of the time. I appreciate being here in myLot and I think this is what friends are for. We share information and exchange advices.

Yes i have started discussions on topics where i needed advice and members have gave me great advice.I remember when i started a discussion about my terrible headaches and what i learned new is that gatorade really helps and also plenty of water.I bought some gatorade and my headache sure nuff went away.I really do appreciate the advice and tips here i recieve from mylot members.

Some of it I take to heart but some of it I have learned to over look it or blow it off. I mean espically if it is rude advice.

I definitely value the advice that has been given to me by the members here. So many people have helped me out here, and it is truly amazing to have so many thoughtful caring people in one place. To me it is just not right to ask for advice from others, just for the sake of asking. That's just plain disrespectful, and something I could never do. I also would like to thank the members on here that have helped me and others through our problem. And thank you to you too royal for being such an awesome friend too.

I listen to sense. If a member came across and said something sensible, made clear, something which I agree on sure. Otherwise I accept there views and get on with my own life. I wouldn't take advice if I didn't agree, would be a waste of time to try something I wasn't willing to do. Such as if I posted a discussion about being addicted to fast food and someone said "you shouldn't go to fast food places" I would cut down but not stop. ~Joey

If the advice is helpful then yes, if not then that's ok and I do thank them for responding.

Hello royal52gens. I think it would have to depend on the advice given. In many cases the information can be very beneficial and informative. I can't tell you how many scams I have avoided with the help of other MyLot members. Not to mention all the tips I've received that have really helped. There's nothing like an extra pair of eyes to help you see some of the things you may have missed. With MyLot, you get the help of lots of experienced eyes. ;)

I appreciate any good advice, and I do find many helpful hints and ideas here from my friends.

It depends. Of couse I have to scan it first and select the one that i think the best advice for me. And after doing that it's the time that i have to take that advice.

It depends if I like the advice or not and then I will consider it, and not dismiss it all together.

I learned all I know from other users!LOL I try to remember the things I have been told. The best help I got was from the FAQ. I often send people to them, as well as mylot's discussions to help them. Of course the guide lines are a must, but these things are great helps.

Hello royal. Most of the discussions I posted are impersonal and generally geared toward our everyday lifestyle. I can guess the age bracket of each member right away based on the essence of their response. Most older users tend to give more relevant advices and insights and I do appreciate their wisdoms. I will weigh their opinions and see if I can use their advices to full advantage.

Some times I do.When i am given advice,I kind of think on it awhile,to see if I agree or not. Sometimes i have taken some advice and sometimes i didn't think it was advisable

i take the advices given to me by the other members of course not all of them but the ones who match beter to the problem is reffering but first i meditate which one of them fits to me better so i read all of them and then take the decision.maybe not every time the problem can be solve but trying all the best.so thank you for all the advices i received from mylot members til now and for the ones i will receive from now

For me it depends on my question or problem. I read every response but think about them very carefully especially if it's important to me. I'm very cautious when someone says they are an "expert" or doctor or nurse because anyone can say that and we have no way of knowing if it's the truth. I would never ask a very important health question on the internet for that reason.
