Are these messages going to be "moderated" by you guys? Some of the messages I can imagine might get, um, pretty hot! We all still have the ability to post to a "nonfriend's" board. And yes, I see the report button. But what's to stop 2 or 3 bullies/knuckleheads from going at it. (Why they can't take it "outside" and duke it out in PM-land is beyond me.) I could also be offline a couple of weeks and come back to find CanoeStream and 2air have been talking about my fondness for wearing ladies unmentionables again. What's a fella to do?

Multi quote feature - for replying to several statements in one post:

To use the multi-quote feature:

- Open thread you want to respond to.

- Click the multi-quote button (the button with the +) in each post that you want to include in your reply.

- Now click on the quote button in the first post that you are including (button says quote) in your reply.

- The quotes should appear in the reply editor.

- Add clever new text to go along with the quoted text and post your reply.

We are still fiddling with this... But currently, you should be able to manage these yourself.

Open the message and look for the little check box in the upper right hand corner of the post.

Click it and scroll down to see a moderation box. You can select delete. Hit go to complete the action.

Ever wondered who has checked you out?

In your profile you can view a list of the last 10 folks to view your profile.

To see this list:

> click on 'user cp' (upper blue nav bar)
> Click 'Your profile' on left menu
> look for list on the right side of your profile

Here's who's checked out mel today....

If you don't want to receive visitor messages - ever...
>User cp
>edit options
>messaging and notification
>uncheck 'enable visitor messaging'

Thanks, Janet! I like this multi-quote function!

Right now it is not possible to create a new social group. When we get some of the other kinks worked out we'll take a look at this feature. If you want a private forum for your unit - I can set that up for you.

I am very confused... time for a rum and coke.... so is there any chance of going back?

[TBRich]

I like the new multiple quote feature...have wanted to do that at times and couldn't... Thanks!

Not sure about the visitor's messages...will have to look into what that's all about... and the "Friends" thing...

We only go forward, mainly because we can't find reverse...

Then there’s always that difficulty with the backup camera.

There are a few bugs, such as photo upload quotas, to resolve. I like the friends feature and the random photo from a member’s photos when you view their profile. Nice touches.

My question now is, does adding someone to your contacts constitute adding someone to your buddy list?

It's all a little overwhelming
