    You can't do what you want to do.

    A bold title post means the thread is unread.
    A non bold title means it has been read ... by you.

    If your posts are "ignored", perhaps they need to be made more interesting.

    Are you offering valuable advice?

    Are you asking a provocative question?

    You've written 5 posts to this point. Your subject lines aren't very attention-grabbing, nor do they clearly communicate what's inside. Think of them as headlines.

    One has almost 200 views and 6 comments. Given that most people are lurkers, that's not bad, and it's also the kind of traffic you need to see to get engagement.

    Also, nobody has heard of you. It takes awhile to generate momentum. If you stick around and offer great info, people will start looking at your new post just because you wrote it.

    But you are quite a ways from that.

    So, in short, I don't think your posts are getting ignored...you just don't have many yet, the headlines aren't great, and you have unrealistic expectations on engagement.

    Stick with it.

    Titles are bolded when you haven't read them since a new post was added. If you make a new thread it will show up for you as having been read (ie not bold). When someone adds to the thread after that, it will appear in bold for you.

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.
