Hi lesley,
I am a newbie on the site. You say its busy with lots of activity.
Have you seen a significant increase in new users in recent months?
The reason I ask, is this site will no doubt reflect very well the state of personal finance in the UK, and an increase in activity would indicate that more people are struggling with their commitments.

In2Deep, I think some posters come for advice and get their advice and don't post again through choice as they've found their solution, others stick around and help support others, I don't know any statistics but maybe Andy Davie may have some data that reflects membership increase?
