Happy Birthday West Grand! Have the best day ever. Best Wishes always, JOsEph:)
You're welcome 9A [am guessing that Nine-a is how your name is pronounced in 'real life'?]...and there's really no need to apologise! It can happen to all of us...and has. Easier to simply delete any mis-posts.....
And since 'ditzy' is not gender specific, maybe you should consider starting a new thread, so the regularly visiting members have the opportunity to record whenever THEY have a similar 'episode'.... :)
Yes, hence ¨9A¨ is my stage name, although people will say Neena right after I´m introduced to them. Here is some insider info. Don´t tell anyone until there is a big
announcement:
Hover your mouse over the green area and a little phrase will pop up. For each member it differs by number of little ¨boxes.¨
Ralph thinks they sound like fortune cookies. I think they are more customized than that. People with only one each get the same phrase. I have none. It´s most likely a function of your length of time as a member and number of posts.
Lowell said that the ¨reputation¨ score will also be calculated something like that. It is triggered when someone ¨likes¨ your post by depressing the star icon in the lower left of the post [that will be changing to a different icon, like a thumbs up or something.]
Nina
OK Nina, thanks for that.
It will also help anyone viewing this thread, to understand the changes.
I have been checking out the new system, and noticing it is being introduced in stages. Am now starting to feel I am getting the hang of it!
It seems similar to 'liking' on Facebook....which is good, as it will mean activity is constantly updated, and doesn't remain static.
And will give a clearer indication of who is currently active on SDF. There are a number of members on the list with quite high post totals, but who have not signed in or posted in years, for all sorts of reasons.
As almost everybody viewing on SDF at any given time now seems to be a 'guest', and not a signed-in member, I would guess that many of the 'guests' are indeed members, but who have not signed in, as they are not intending to post.
Here's hoping the latest introductions will now encourage some of them to do just that....:)
I was hoping for ¨liking¨ as on Facebook, that would show on the actual post, but am
grateful for all that is offered. I also wanted more smiley face options, or other emotions, but I guess we have enough. :rolleyes:
I would love to see who the ¨lurkers¨ are or, at least, where they are.
I have just 'liked' your post...so here's hoping you receive credit for that....
Yes indeed, who are all those 'lurkers', and where are they?
Years ago, to keep myself focused [I was born with the attention span of a gnat, so it's a constant battle...] I started making notes, and still do, before I go to bed each night.
Some of those viewing figures are really large, and subject to 'spikes' which are bizarre....and have regularly wondered ''how?'...and 'why?'.
The biggest example is the 'Word Association' thread.....:confused:
FYI - I tried to ¨like¨ your post above and got the following message:
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to westgrandboulevard again. :eek:
