First Good Job Posters!! Thank you for your hard work.

Now What is up with Jack? How did he get that first question wrong? If this was the Mole I would bet he was the Mole. I find it kind of fishy that Justin wins HOH with a question about Ali. Is CBS loosing ratings so they have to fix the show? Just needed to sound off. All comments are welcomed.

LET'S COORDINATE ;-)

I get frustrated at typing up a long post only to find two other people have already posted the very same thing. Then when I don't check coverage, I see no one else has either. I doubt I'm not alone in my frustration.

Personally, I find it difficult to commit myself too far ahead of time. I prefer that we check in here each day to see who can post when. This is the perfect spot to let others know our plans for the day. The sooner the better.

Too, it would help me if a poster would give a heads-up here when they are ready to stop posting and need another person to take over. I try to scan for notes of departure in the LFP area but have overlooked them at times... sometimes because they aren't there either.

When there is more than one poster on during a lot of house activity, I would like to see us coordinate coverage. Either by sticking to the same feed or sticking to the same group of houseguests. Again, I feel it would be best done here so that posters can communicate frequently. It would surely save time and fingers. This page loads quickly, making it easy to check in often.

I realize two posters can cover the same thing yet post some different information. That's a good thing. But if we have the posters, it would be nice to tackle all the feeds, eh.

And while I'm on a roll... I am guilty of having done this and see others have the same problem... Have you ever written or read a post like this...

"Jun is in the hot tub... no wait, it's Dana.. she has on a red top so I know it is her... she is telling Justin that ??? ... whispering I can't hear .. but I think she said that Ali was spying on her... whispering again... oh it was Erika spying, not Ali.... now they are just chatting, I'm changing feeds."

I quickly realized that I aggravate myself unnecessarily. If I don't understand what they are saying, I certainly can't relay it to the reader.

All I can do is say that "Justin and Dana are in the hot tub whispering too low to be heard well but I keep hearing Erika's name come up."

If I write that Dana said something then come to realize it is Ali talking, I edit and correct before I post to save the poor readers from becoming confused.

Now that I don't fret on posting every single word, I feel better, and I certainly write better posts. I hope other posters will ease up on themselves and just do their best with the feeds and bad sound that we are sometimes given. I have noticed that Alison whispers more loudly than Dana... so with the man-troll gone, we may get a break there.

I am glad to have explained my frustrations and suggestions for better coordinating the live feed coverage. I hope to see feedback from all our posters.

As of this early a.m., my plan is to help during the wee hours tonight (1 or 2a.m. BB time until they all go to sleep. If anyone else can help during those hours, let me know.

TEAMWORK

JUSTAREADER DID AN AMAZING JOB... AS USUAL... LAST NIGHT... BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

Tnt - good post and good suggestions....thanks for the applause. although I do it for fun!!

I agree if posters could quickly say (in this thread) what they are covering that may ensure coverage to all convos. I know I usually state what I am covering in my first post and try to say when I am switching feeds or whatever...

good points even though sometimes it is hard to implement them all! Better editing would probably take care of most frustration I honestly just don't take the time...

Thanks Tntaangela for the Kudos on my first (and so far only) LFP. I lucked out. No one had been posting for awhile and everyone else 'cept Dana and Justin (and me) were asleep. It was a close call.. I got the deer in the headlights look on my face when I thought there was a chance I was going to have to transcribe Dana and Justin "doing the nasty". {{Shudder}}

I would have had to sleep with both my eyes open for days!

All good suggestions, but in real life we aren't all going to live up to that standard and there are many styles of posting.. just have to relax and enjoy what people are putting out there.

Right- I can't really "plan" on posting- I do it if I have time and see that no one else seems to be picking it up. Like for the food challenege- no one else posted for a long time but as soon as it started a lot of people jumped in. It's repetitive, but I know I didn't catch everything. The only thing I found a little frustrating was, when it was hardly anyone posting for the food comp, I saw that a whole other LFP area had emerged in the Food Comp thread. Yet 6 people were able to come in to mention Ali and the ring.

At that point I was wishing they'd come by and help over there, but whatever. I understand that sometimes people want to be able to discuss it while they write/watch rather than just report. So I'm not complaining- I think the area is working pretty well- esp. considering half the time the feeds are all in the same spot.

Tntangela,

Don't be frustrated by that, when several are posting, we get a much better overall picture of what happened, because unless someone is a stenographer they can't capture everything. Some posters capture the mood of the HG's some capture the nuainces of the convo and so on. I don't get to watch the live feeds as much as I'd like to this year, and for me the times where 2 or 3 are capturing it are the best to read here because I get the full mental picture between the 2 or 3 posts.

Just wanted to drop in and give a big thank you to all of the LFP's. We truly appreciate the job you do every day and can't thank you enough! Great job, everyone!

Wow guys, thanks so much for your responses. It was very helpful for me to read how everyone thinks when it comes to posting. Everyone made excellent points.

As a reader, I love reading 2 or 3 posts of the same thing for the very reasons Whit4you stated. As a poster, duh! Thank you so much for reminding me.

Justareader, you do an excellent job. No way can any of us edit much and continue posting. I hoped to make the point that it's okay to miss things and not beat ourselves up over it.

I truly appreciate you all taking the time to reply. I was striving for perfection and driving myself bonkers. As seamonkey suggested, I shall now "relax and enjoy".

Thanks to all of you,
Angela

Wanted to say thanks Tntaangela for your kind words on my posts the other night. I also enjoy your posts. I do agree with you that if more than 1 person is posting it is nice to get all feeds if they are on different people.

I plan on posting this weekend again, probably late night/early morning BB time, and will try to coordinate a bit just to make sure all is covered if possible but I won't stress on it. We'll all "relax and enjoy"

Kaili.. I know that frustration.. when suddenly others jump in.. I must say that I jumped in but only because I suddenly thought I should turn the feeds on.. I'd been up since before 7am but didn't think they'd be up so early.. boy was I surprised when suddenly I saw them competing!!

Hi everyone . . .

Again I would like to say Thank you all very much for keeping us all up to date with the actions of the HG . . . YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB . . . And I for one truly appreciate all the hard work you are doing.

However, I have one question - Where is everyone?

Although, I know there probably is not much going on right now, something has got to be happening in the house . . .

Come on just give us a little hint - every now and then - like maybe, say every, ten or fifteen minutes intervales. . .

Thanks . . .

What can I say that I haven't said before . . .

THANK YOU . . . THANK YOU . . . THANK YOU . . .

Not only for all your hard work and keeping us updated about what's going on . . .
And in such wonderful explicit detail (Absolutly Great Coverage) . . .

But for implimenting the suggestions that we have posted here . . .

It is great to see a couple of screen caps every now and then, epscially to give us a better "feel" about what is happening in the house (especially so we don't have to jumb back & forth from the Live Feeds to the Screen Caps area and back again). . .

And posting more frequent message between intervals to let us know that there is just nothing happening (More importantly, it also lets us know that there is nothing wrong with our computers or Internet connections, especially when we refresh the Live Feed Page to get more updates) . . .

Again - THANK YOU . . .

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) . . . YEAAAAAAAA. . . . :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

. . . The Crowds are clapping like mad and giving the Live Feed Posters . . .

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) . . . A Standing Ovation . . . :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

:) :) :) :) :) :) . . . Cheering - Bravo/Brava . . . :) :) :) :) :) :)

Could someone explain how to paste a screen capture into a post? Also how do you insert the faces?
