If you want other Hubbers to notice you, then you have to get active in the community - and remember there's a difference between being active and being annoying.
Read other Hubs and comment on them in a thoughtful way (many Hubbers will simply delete comments like "nice Hub" because they're bad for SEO). Join in existing threads in the forums in an meaningful way. If you sound like an intelligent, articulate person then people will think, "hey, this girl can write!" and go and check out your Hubs.
I think I'm in trouble - I can't imagine anyone thinking that when seeing any of my forum posts alongside this avatar.
Can I borrow yours, Marisa?
Ah, but your forum posts are so informative, people don't need to be impressed by a fancy avatar.
Well, flattery will get you everywhere, just please don't say "hey, this girl can write!". ![]()
Could one of you high scorers tell me what is happeneing with my hubscore? Mine always falls when I am busy with life, but when I write hubs, read hubs and comments, and partake in forums my score rises...My score dropped and has stayed here for days now? I am not one to usually worry too much with the score, but I am also not receiving notifications when others reply to my posts? Have you two shining stars any advice for this not very technically intelligent gal?

This might be my last forum post because I am tired. I can't be wasting my time beating a dead horse.HP is a business and they need to start treating their business more seriously. They need a task force to sit and brain storm about how to keep spammers out in the first place.I know that I have...

HI I'm new.. and I think.. that if someone (that isn't a Hub Page Member)visits my Hub page and scrolls to the bottom of my page they can see all the forum activity I have been a part of. I'd rather this info not be available for the world to see... is there a way to "turn off" the...

I generally avoid the non-HP-related sections of the forums (categories like books and sports). Partly it's because all the religious and political discussions distress me, partly it's because it's a time-waster.But mainly, it seems like an awful lot of the output and discussions in those forums...

Would it be possible to introduce a word count limit on forum posts?Look at the forums and you'll find there's never a good reason for a long forum post.Spammers write a long post to advertise their DVD ripper or whatever. Religious fanatics write a long post to preach. Confused newbies...
