Welcome, Anita!
Forums are slower here (I've been out of town a couple weeks, ;-) ) Many vendors have multiple venues and/or are busy out promoting in the social networking arenas so it's hard to find time to participate in the forum. You'll notice that many more people are reading than participating. ... plus I think it just takes a certain critical mass and time to build an active community.
So, keep posting! It'll happen!
(ps. Has the images function been disables or just not working for me today?)
