Azriel | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 12:16 am     We don't just talk about Big Brother. We are here all year long talking about everything and anything. If you click on the word PROFILE at the top of the page, enter your name and password and log in, then, scoll down and look under favorite topics you will see a list of all the topics we talk about. Here is some info to help you navigate our message board easier. There is a feature at the top of the page called New Msgs. If you use this it will show you only the posts made since you last checked for new messages. It saves a lot of time that you waste wading through the topics looking for posts that you haven't read yet. To use it the first time you need to go to the top of the page and click on Profile. This will take you to the profile editor Enter your name and password and log in. Scroll down to the Preference section check the box that says Remember my user name and password in a cookie. New Msgs will not work unless you check this box. Scroll down to Favorites. Here you can check off your favorite topics on the board and New Msgs will only look in those topics. If you only care about Big Brother then just check that one and you won't have to see any other parts of the board. (You will miss out on a lot though, Our Community Corner and General Discussion board is GREAT and we talk about everything under the sun there) Click on Save this Information Now go back to the top of the page and click on New Msgs. In the drop down box beside Search choose My favorite topics. Check the box Messages since I checked for new messages and put in your user name and password. Click on Search. The first time you do this it will take forever and a day to load, but after that unless you have been away from the board for longer than a day, it won't take long at all. TA DA! You now can see a list of Thread Names and the posters names and first line of all posts since you last checked for new messages. You can click on any of them and it will take you straight to the thread. This makes it easy to scan quickly and read only things that interest you on the board. |

I've been a lurker for awhile (just reading live feed updates for BB2 and BB3) but now that I've found all the other cool stuff here I had to become a part of it! I did post a couple times the other day but today I actually filled out my profile and everything! Now I'm ready to go! |

Sc00pgrl | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 04:36 pm     Thanks so much for the welcome... and I don't mind if I do...lol |
Slothkitten | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 04:49 pm     Thanks Meme9!I'm pretty tickeld to be here,I'm like a 2yr old where computers are concerned, and you know how wild they are,lol! Welcome Marmosquirm,like your name! Hi Sc00pgrl...thank's for your lf posts...you came out w/a bang! :.) |
Azriel | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 04:53 pm     One thing you newbies might want to check on and change in your profiles is listing your real true name. We get really comfortable around here and do a lot of casual chatting, usually saying the area or town we live in. I would venture to say that 99.9% of the people at the clubhouse are great normal people, BUT there is always that chance that their is a looney tunes stalker out there. (I didn't name any names ) I think it's better to stay on the safe side and not disclose your true name. |
Sc00pgrl | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 04:58 pm     tks Azriel for the info and I took care of it... wasn't thinking (duh me lol) Hi Slothkitten and yw I have them on all the time anyways may as well post when I can... lol |
Kristen | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 05:00 pm     I too have been lurking for awhile and decided to register! Hi Everyone! |
Azriel | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 05:12 pm     Hi Kristen! Welcome aboard |
Azriel | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 05:15 pm     Here's something that it took me a long time to discover - everyone's name is in big bold letters beside their post - If you click on that name you can see their profile. It's something pretty simple, but I didn't know about it for a long time! |
Slothkitten | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 05:29 pm     Me too,Sc00p..thanks AZ! Yeah,I rethought my name last nite..dooooh!! one of the 1st thing i found was the profiles..fun. Only 9,999,999 more things to find.Thank you, Azriel,for lookin out for us newbies :.) hi Karen,welcome! |

Chill_Town | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:29 am     Hello all!!! I have been a lurker for ( bows her head in shame ) 2 yrs now, but finally yesterday I believe is when I signed up... This site is just so highly above other sites I have tried going to... Thanks for everything... :o} |
Katlady53 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:44 am     Hi Chill! Welcome! |
Annatopia | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 10:28 am     hey folks, i've been lurking here for two years as well. i just wanted to give kudos to the live feed posters, the show summary posters, and the entire community. i honestly have not been able to stomach watching most of the shows, but i'm totally addicted to the online BB community. you folks offer lots of insight and you keep me up to date on what's up in the BB house. as an aside, i'm pulling for jun to win this one. while i think ali played a good game, i think jun played a more subtle yet powerful one. again, kudos to this community. you folks are awesome. =) |
Katlady53 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 11:51 am     Welcome Annatopia! This is a great place, isn't it? We have the best live feed posters in the universe. |
Azriel | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 06:02 pm     Welcome to the wonderful world of posting Anna and Chill. Slothkitten, some things are just so nice you have to say them twice! I hate when I accidently double post. You can't remove the second post but, if I realize I did it then I usually run to edit the second one. I change it to an added thought and then hope that noone had time to actually see before I edited that I posted the same thing twice. For newbies that don't know, next to the date and time at the top of your post there are 4 sheets of paper. If you click on the first one it's the EDIT button. Within 10 minutes of posting, you can click on it and it will take you back to your post and you can change anything in it. After 10 minutes, you can't change it anymore, but if there is ever a post that you just hate and wish you had never posted you can ask a nice moderator to remove it or change it for you. The other three buttons are move, delete and IP. Only a moderator can use those buttons. |
