A thread for news items.

 

Kicking off with an email I received this morning (Good Friday) from JoannaS:

Just to let you know
that although I seem to be able to send emails I can't connect into the
internet for anything else except Skype - really weird. Being a holiday
weekend, no idea when this might get sorted.

Darn it, I've just started a thread to wish her happy birthday!  I hope the gremlins bugger off soon.

I'll try that again!

Post ratings

I forgot to switch this one and I have just now done so for the "On the sun-lounger" forum.

You can rate individual posts from 1 star to 5.

I have no idea how useful or effective this will be, so we will restrict it just to this forum for a trial period.

Erm, why would we want to rate a post?  Or is that just me?  ponder

I'll try that again!

I kind of agree, TA. Rating topics may be useful but individual posts seems to serve no useful purpose. I may just switch it off.

 

Facebook Links in your profile

If you have a Facebook page, and want a link to appear on your posts, just enter your Facebook name with a full stop(s) like this:

tina.turner

You don't need to enter http://www.facebook.com/

Janet, Chris and Shelley have linked to FB but if you click on the FB logo under their avatars, no connection is made...

I'll try that again!

I switched off that post rating option because I can see no use for it. We can switch it it back on again at any time if required.

I tried this and checked the link to find it went to some lady in Arkansas....big_laugh

You may want to double check your user name on Facebook, you may not have set one up (like me, I had to choose one!)

Search on User Name in the help center....

If you can't be a shining example, be a terrible warning!

wave Thanks Danny, 

I wasn't sure whether I was putting it in the right section but knew you were around to move it if necessary.

 

ok

Joanna emailed me to say:

I am really busy at the moment and tomorrow (Monday) we go to the airport to pick up a friend and she is with me for five days so not likely to get online much.

Can you please let the CSH'ers know.

God bless
Joanna

Good idea, Toni.
