New Forum Stuff

[SadieKate]

What is it all? Friends, visitors, etc.

It's so confusing!

[snapdragen]

Stuff and nonsense....

[jobob]

OMG you can get a reputation

[SadieKate]

OMG. Is there going to be a pop quiz?

[crazycanuck]

What's a tag btw.... ??? It came up when I posted a new topic...

Stuff is good

[Selkie]

OMG you can get a reputation

Will it evolve into forum cliques?

I'm old fashioned and am not into Facebook or social networking. Therefore, I admit to being ignorant of the advantages.

I hadn't noticed, since I just click on New Posts...I'll have to check it out the old school way.

[KnottedYet]

I couldn't figure out what or where it was... until I clicked on your name, Tulip.

It's a different way of displaying the profile, and it keeps a tally of who's been peeking at you (and their name). I guess you can leave notes on someone's profile, too. Like a public PM?

I got to be the first person to peek at Tulip! Recorded for all posterity!
"Knot, the Peeping Tom!"

Not quite sure what the "friends" thing is or the purpose it serves. I'm sure someone who does Facebook or Myspace or something will come along and explain it all.

I am a technophobe who doesn't like change.

I am pretending that nothing is different.

[KnottedYet]

I am pretending that nothing is different.

Me, too.
I read posts and reply to posts. That's plenty.

[Crankin]

Me too. I don't see any changes.

[OakLeaf]

It records who's visited your profile too.

I can't see where reputation is supported here, though - which is fine with me, but it can be useful to people who are new to the forum.

Stuff and nonsense....

I started reading the info but I thought my head might explode so I had to stop.

[SadieKate]

I agree with mickchick, tulip, Knotted, Catriona, TrekHawk, etc.

I'd suggest we start a group for Luddites but that would involve change.

[maillotpois]

I like that they use the verb "befriend".
