  We seem to be getting a lot of new members posting forum topics these days, more than we ever had maybe? What's going on?

    You don't want OzBargain to have new members?

      Nah it's not that I don't want new members but it would be good to have new members that don't just post one forum topic then leave.

        I think that the way some people here treat first time posters, it's no wonder that some of them leave and don't come back.

          @pjetson:

          some of them leave and don't come back.

          Or they come back with their regular user ID

            @onetwothreefour: Yes, we all are and that's why your username is an good example. To get to four it was started with one.
            You are very smart, I'm sure you know what I mean.

            @onetwothreefour: what made you think that?

    We only started showing L plates for forum posters 3 months ago, see here.

    That has made it more obvious that a forum post is from a new member, not that there are necessarily more new members. Previously you would only know it was a new member posting a forum post, if you clicked on their profile and looked at their posting history or looked at when they joined OzBargain.

      Ah Ok, that would be why then! Thanks for the explanation, I wasn't attacking the OP (or others) just curious as to why it seemed we were getting more new posters.

        No problems at all, just saw your comment while dealing with a different report and thought I'd mention it.

  I got Proline Rigid Plank hybrid flooring earlier this year. It's definitely waterproof, it quiet to walk on and it seems hardy. I guess time will tell if it scratches, but so far my dog or my furniture hasn't hurt it. I'm very happy with it.

  Remember that there’s the right product for you, and who is going to lay it?
  We have had expensive flooring laid by a sloppy team of layers and this has caused a couple of years of trouble for us and the supplier.
  I would be seriously checking past jobs etc as this can really affect the finished job that you get, irrespective of the product.

  If I were to do my flooring again, I will go for Hybrid.

  Some laminates are really good though - they look somehow more real than Hybrid. But Hybrid is easier to maintain so that is a plus.

  Agree with Salty Pete. Product quality is important, but what more important is to get the right person to do it. Get your sub-floor preparation done correctly is one of the most important step that many fail to do
