I don't know about other people, but I respond to questions in the Answers area but I have not yet tried correcting essays in the Notebook area. If you post questions to the Answers area and I see the question, I would be happy to respond.

Hi Lize, Allow me to share my two cents' worth. There may be several reasons to explain why others may not respond to our post. * To put it bluntly, the time when you upload your post plays a part. Someone who has posted something in Portugese at a time when people in most Portugese-speaking countries are deep in slumberland will receive a muted response. To compound the problem, by the time the Portugese-speaking members are awake, your post will be "masked" by other posts from people in other parts of the world. *The length of the piece is another factor. Personally, I have tried editing pieces where I have so much to suggest, but there is word limit imposed by Italki. Sometimes I circumvent the problem by splitting my suggestion into a few posts. I do suggest that you keep your pieces shorter -- in this way, the tutor or teacher can zoom in to a particular part of your post and provide more focused suggestions. In contrast, a longer post may lead to more "diffused" suggestions. *I notice some members re-post their piece across different time zones. I find this understandable as these members would like a wide "catchment area". I hope these suggestions help. Cheers, Lance
