[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2250668, member: 480869"] Whilst not absolute, looking at the number of messages a member has posted will give some idea of if they have been a member of this forum for a short or long time. You for example show as only having posted 6 messages. This does not necessarily correlate to knowledge or experience as a newbie on the forum may still know a lot but it is one factor in assessing a reply. The number of responses (thumbs up/tick/informative etc) can be another guide. If you stick around you’ll learn whose opinions tend to agree with and who does a lot of evidence based research and who is balanced etc. I’d always recommend doing your own research using the info you get here as a starting point, in the early days especially edit to add members do not give medical advice, just the benefit of their experience and sometimes very extensive reading and study. A few may be drs but are not acting as such in here. [/QUOTE]
