Hi !if People don't talk to each other this won't stay alive!!Don't be a Lurker
Bonnie aka blnzrfn:
Hello all lets get some chatter on ;D
Flamingos.r.us.:
I don't lurk...okay. maybe I do around slot machines (RE: Friends) but me and my flamingos have been having great conversations, although their knowledge of history is pretty limited...Don't mind me, I just had a root canal go bad and the vicodin is making ALOT of things talk right now.
Don't get me started on my dog's(Hellmutt) opinion on the whole "Real reason for the War of 1812"......

Might as well ask what you think of the new colour scheme? Also, I added the ability to simply post a youtube video and I made the area at the bottom show the last 10 posts vs. the last 3... thoughts, ideas, etc.?!?! ;)

I am sooooo new to computers, I am definitely NOT the one to ask what I think on things. For example, what new colors? I can't even figure out how to use all these script/color change and nifty gadgets that are just above the message thingy. I am also having a difficult time following different places that I've posted in the past. I'm just confused. My hubby (Rockman) is helping me where he can, but again, both of us are very computer illiterate and are learning very slowly. I can tell you honestly, though, that he thinks the site is the greatest thing since sliced bread, beaten only by his visits to the Bernard Cornwell site (Sharp's author).
I'm finding this pretty cool, but not alot of contributors, alot of "viewers"...kind of creeps me out.
As to the utube? just can't figure that out just yet :-\

The site is now more of a green colour. Also, some art above instead of text.

Okay, first, there's a "help" area... if you're on the main page, there's a row of buttons there?one of them is click it... it has a lot of actually good info on how to use the board. As far as the text colours, usually you have to highlight the text to change, THEN click the button. For more on formatting text, go here. Also, in the help area, notice there are some more links across the top of that... on how to post, personal message, etc.

It should send you an e-mail when you are replied to... to go back and look, I think there's a link to show all your posts. I don't use it much, so I'd have to dig for it. Also, on the main page there, you'll see the icons along the left of 2 swords... if there's no new post, it will just be two bare swords, if there's new content (someone has posted since YOU last logged in or lokked there), it will have a blue background to the swords... How's that??

Don't worry -- we've ALL been there. It's just that some of us have been doing it longer. :P Youst go and post and have fun. One thing I will say, if you write something long or involved, before you hit that "post" button, copy ALL the text in the "writing" window... ALL of it. Highlight it, then push down the "ctrl" key and "C" to copy... that way if the system lose sit or something (and it DOES happen on these boards) you can just paste it back into the window and not lose what you wrote... it will save you some serious rage! Oh yeah, the paste is "ctrl" + "V". ;)

What creeps you out? That a lot of people will read what you write? Or that there's not a lot of contributors? THat's the way of the 'Net...
