When is the best time to start a discussion in Mylot?

It depends which nationality you think will be most interested in your topic.

It is to a discussion about timings and time differences

There is one thing which I believe is essential when starting a discussion which is time related but not in the way you may mean.

If you start a discussion when you have no free time right then to answer at least the first few responses it will not do as well initially as it would if you are able to stay with it for the first hour or so.

The only thing I try and do when starting a discussion is to make sure I have time to stay with the discussion as long as possible.
My last one got many more responses than I thought it would so have got very behind with comments as I do try to respond to friends in addition to commenting on my own discussions.
That discussion did well despite me not keeping it as active as I should have.

Activity within a discussion is a big part of getting responses in my opinion

i guess anytime is best time. thing is, it has to be something that would tickle one's interest, one good topic.
so anytime is a good time to start a discussion.

I have never noticed if there is a best time to start a discusssion as i find that i always look to my emails to see what friends here on mylot have started what discussions.I tend to start a discussion as soon as i think of one and i always get alot of responses at all times of the day or night.I start discussions when the children are quiet as that way i know i can do a better job.

I will start a discussion in the evening, if I can think of one because, mainly I come to Mylot to answer discussions,and in the morning, it is kind of slow because everyone are not up, in the morning so you may not get, too many answer in the morning, and then some people have gone to work, so you will have to wait untill the evening to get replies for you discussions.

It depends really on your time zone and also what time zone your friends are, since your discussion would be more exposed to them, so you must think of it too. I tend to make discussion in the morning around 8am (my time is GMT + 7) and usually generates few responses quickly. I tend to make topic discussion in the weekdays since things much slower here during the weekend

I don't think time applies. I think what is more important is the topic that you choose to bring up. Of course it also requires you to take some time to find out if the topic has been done recently. I find that when I talk about a personal favorite movie of mine, I tend to get poor responses. Actually, I did start a few, and I gave up. I don't seem to start popular topics.

Still, I do believe finding a topic like relationship, making money and mylot draws a lot of attention.

In my experience it really hasn't made a difference what time I start the discussion. If the discussion that I am starting is something that is interesting to everyone, then it will have a good turnout regardless of whether I start the discussion in the morning or in the middle of the night. The only difference that I have noticed is how long it will take people to start to respond to it. The discussions that I've started very late at night are slow to take off but will typically take off the next day. I'm in Eastern Standard Time in the US. While the discussions that I've started in the middle of the day will typically take off pretty quick.

Hello icesmile

well it depends on which people are intrested in which type of topic, as well as you ahould give it a glance like which are the topics which are mostly answered and are top list according to that you can make one.And even if you have some new problems which are different from everyone that will also give a good answer.

I have found mine usually get responded too in the late evening. I am not sure why. I have posted many times during the day without any answers by the time I go to bed and then when I wake in the morning and sign in I have a number of responses to my posts and discussions.

I would say do your own test and see what works for you
