Hi! Just been exploring a little with the new set-up that the techies gave us on the forum... This is the only forum I've ever been part of, so anything "new" is "foreign" to me!
I don't quite understand what some of the new things are-- like visitor messages. I looked under FAQs and gathered that they are public rather than private-- but where do they show up- and do they go away or stay forever???
It makes me both laugh and feel sad when I go into my profile-- or someone else's-- and see that we have not made any friends yet... That sure made me feel lonely!!! We'd better get busy! Great Scott! And all this time I thought I had a bunch of friends... that'll show me! What benefit is it to have people listed as friends? And what in tarnation is the "social group" stuff about? Do you just make up a group of people you have in your supposed circle of friends? And what is the purpose? Just to do group PMs or something?
So someone who knows what all this new stuff is about, please enlighten those of us who don't! I'm afraid to try it out-- and post some dumb (unwanted!) visitor message that will be seen by everyone on some poor soul's profile page or worse. (Yes, I do dumb posts all the time, but no one gets stuck with having it under their name forever, so there's a difference!) Of course, someone else is more than welcome to post one to me...
Well, I'm off to school to try to get more ready. It starts in 1 1/2 weeks... Oh, where did the time go???
