Morning_Magic: There are links at the top of each page on the banner for 'FORMAT' and 'CLIPART' that will explain how they work. Also, there is an area on the board, The Spam Room, where you will find detailed instructions to make it easier and a 'Test' thread for trying things out.

Hope that helps.

I want to thank everyone here who posts the feeds for us! This year has been especially boring, and there isnt much actual worthwhile conversation, but I do have one request. For the people who dont have the feeds, we depend on you guys to type out what is being said. Many people are frustrated when a poster blows off half of a conversation, saying something like ... "Nate saying the same old thing in the HOH room".... "Justin still talkin to Jee in HOH about the same thing as usual" Those kind of posts are really hard to understand, and some of us dont know what "the same old thing" is, and I personally want to hear what the "usual" thing is that they are talking about. This year, I'm not as on top of things, and I only check the feeds every couple days, and usually I just come here to read the LFP's. So I dont always know exactly what's been going on. I only notice a couple specific posters doing this, I feel it would be in bad taste and really rude for me to name them, but PLEASE try to post even the "same old thing" conversations. Thank you so much for all the time you spend on this. I plan to contribute next year, my children will all be in school, and I dont think I'll know what to do with my time! LOL! I hope I dont sound like a nag, or rude, but I just find myself getting frustrated when I cant get a conversation because someone thinks it's something we've ALL heard a lot, when we ALL have not. Thanks for listening. Sheila

Well I know I've done that but after Nate says the same exact thing for the 20th time, no one could type that all out. My fingers hurt as it is (carpal tunnel). I do agree that within a convo it is good to repeat the phrase or idea at least once :)

You'll probably understand more next year.

I figure it is up to me to "catch up" and read or at least skim the live feed posts that I miss while I'm sleeping or out of the house, wouldn't dream of demanding "better" posts if I'm not willing to do some work so I know what is going on.

Ryn.. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THAT KEY EDIT/CORRECTION.. I didn't hear Justin say he was joking and didn't read your post about that until too late and unfortunately my post was after yours.. glad it is cleared up now.

I guess I was being too general. First, Seamonkey, I think you do a FANTASTIC job. I really think you are extremely good at getting the "skipped over" (as I call them) parts across well. What I'm talking about is this. Justin, Jee Robert, Nathan are having a lot of the same conversations, but when I watch the feeds, which, admittedly is rare, I notice them changing their tune every single time. SOMETHING is always different. Like today, all of a sudden, now they are talking about voting Jun out. Unless I missed something, yesterday, Jun was a part of their alliance, albeit the probable weakest link. But today, I hear Robert saying things like... 'Were gonna get Jun out'. She's doing couble dealing, telling them one thing and then telling the others something different. Now, if someone were to post, "J3 and Nathan in the room still talking about the same old thing" I would have missed all the talk about Jun. Do you see what I mean? I think I was too general. Again, Seamonkey, I never feel like I missed something when YOU post, but it would be tacky to name the person who I do feel is missing important things. I guess I feel like I'm now making this a much bigger deal than it is, and I should have just not brought it up. THANK YOU ALL for what you do, you really do do a great job in getting the story across, and I do very much appreciate you, I hate missing things, and I'm sorry if I am probably too irritable about it. LOL! I feel like saying, "Dont pay me any mind, I'm just rambling" now. Sorry I posted anything about this, its silly. Sheila

Sheila, LOL.. by not naming names then everyone feels that it might be them.. but I totally agree, it would be tacky.. and of course I pay mind to your opinions..

Right now I'm eating my first solid food since last night..

God, Nate is so cocky now. And Ali is back to being loud and cocky too.

arrgh.

The posters are fantastic, and I know that it is a lot of repetition. It is hard to keep up sometimes with he said she said. I read everything that is posted usually about noon est when they get up. Then check back in before bed and when I get up in the AM I read all that has transpired during the time I get to sleep. Thank you again to all those that give up their sleep.
I hope that all this scheming bites the J3 in the butts. They keep commenting on how the women are keeping things stirred up. Well, Justin Robert and Jee are the biggest women in the house. I hope that Ali, Erika, and Jun get it together and figure that the J3 need to be broken up. Want to see the tears so bad when it happens.
I hate to see what they are doing to Nate. He is out there washing there freakin towels while they are worrying about Dana not voting for them in the end.
Oh Nate, you should be spending your time reading your bible especially Psalms where David gets the shaft by the people he thinks are his allies. LOL, tomorrow's eviction is going to be the bomb.
I wonder if they have to say it out loud in front of Jack and Nathan. Double double and more double cross.
Keep you head down Ali and Jun the nuclear fall out is coming closer to you.

Gosh, I can't believe what I missed today!! Can you say, "sheeeesh?!" LOL I know the other night when someone was asking for posters I went in and tried to help, but did fear we might be covering the same feeds. That's not always a bad thing as said above since I can't always catch every word like some of these fantastic posters do(!) and it's great to have someone get the things you missed.

What I was thinking the other night though was, if I knew how to "instant message" another poster, I could ask them which feeds they were watching, etc. Only problem with that is, if someone is posting (which often happens!) and we don't know about it until we finally see a post, it may not work, but if might help.

Anyway, I was thinking maybe we could use AIM or whatever, with the names we use here and then others would know how to contact us? Now watch, I'll come up with this great plan and be the dumb one who forgets to turn on her messenger. LOL

Show starts here in a few (I see the rest of NY isn't on the same TV schedule as NYC)so I'll have to catch up when I can wrangle the pc away from my son later tonight.

Thanks to all of you!! :) :) :)

Watching - you are welcome to post your IM info here or anywhere you like (or in your profile) - I agree that would be a nice thing but I would certainly not try to coordinate it - and we do have a turnover of LFPs as some get burned out over time, it just happens.

Mss - I think if you see the "same old thing" - you might scroll back a few posts to see what the last endless conversation wqas by the mentioned HG.

They do tend to repeat themselves over and over and OVER again.

If you haven't figgured it out yet, Robert and Justin felt Jun has been blabbing too much to Jack/Erika and things they feel they told her in confidence got back to them (but who knows - these guys are all so paranoid it could have been all in their head).

SO based on that - and the fact it was discovered it would be a live feed vote AND the fact that Nathan has been swearing loyalty to the Jee3 - they decided they MIGHT keep Nathan and vote out Jun (who has also always been the most vocal to boot him over Jack).

Being 3 guys (and I am one too so I can make that judgement!!), they also seem to blame the women - rightly or wrongly - for making things crazy in the house, so they have said at several times they were not crazy about aligning with Jun.

Sooo.... I understand the frustration, but I know myself that when I am working and trying to post SOMETHING - I sometimes type "same ole same ole" and try to capture only the interesting stuff.

"Same ole" from me would generally mean pointless talking in circles saying nothing new - and the jist of what it is about can usually be deduced somewhere in a previous post I have made recently.

Ryn,

I wasn't thinking we would try to coordinate times or anything, but just put our IMs on IF we are able to post at the time and then others would know we were available. I'll just use the name I post here on, so it will make it easier for everyone. I'll try using AIM, but I know others use different messenger services, so if it helps, it helps, and if not, well, we tried! :)

Watching - I just try to post here and at the beginning of my posting session what I cover. I also try to come here and announce when I arrive and leave....not saying this is the best way but it works for me..
BTW I am planning on being here tommorrow night about 9/10 central time 7/8 bb time to post until I can't do it anymore or they get thier butts in bed or about 3/4 am BB time.
And I usually keep the quad cam on, thus the sound is from one. If no sound or very little action, on one I will open another window and cover that (to be announced at that time)

Also - Did Tntangela get scared off or offended? I loved reading her posts. Please come back if you read this....

I would just like to comment on something I read in here from a poster being frustrated that after typing up a long conv. only to find out that someone else had already covered it.PLEASE do not feel that way, I have been reading the live posts for 3 yrs now and find that it is almost impossible for one person to get everything that is said. I always read each persons posting of a conv. and will always pick up something new. Thanks guys, doing a great job !!!!

First of all, a great big thank you to all the LFP'ers. The accuracy interwoven with your humor makes for a very interesting read all the time. That said, I would like to mention something I have been thinking about since last year. There have been lots of articles about the producers telling the HG's what to say. The best example I can find of this is after the luxury competition, Alsion was seen walking away from the camera mouthing the word F*** when the prize was announced. According to the live feed posts, most everyone was pretty disgusted with the laundry service prize. It was so obvious to me that when they were in the DR talking about the laundry service(during last nites show)they were not being honest. As I always start every sentence.."According to the LFP'ers..." it was obvious that all of the talk in the DR was directed and produced. I expressed to my friends that everyone was pissed after the luxury comp last week and on TV you would have never known it. I have always enjoyed seeing the editing effects of BB versus the LFP's. I am convinced that BB is more than prompting them what to say, but is actually manipulating and directing them. Very dishonest of BB. There are many examples that I have seen but last nite was the most blatant. Just one of those things that make you go Hmmmmmm.

Scovanbar I couldn't agree with you more..being new to posting (post when I can, I frequently work 12 hr shifts) I find it very helpful when at least 2 LFP get the same convo because each one will bring something a little different to it giving the reader a better understanding of what was happening and in what context..
Flmom..agree with you also..the LFP allow us to see how the HG really feel about things and also give us insight into how much BB orchestrates things.
TO ALL LFP...being new to LFposting, I now have an even greater appreciation of how hard it is to do..I appreciate so much all of your hard work and dedication. Without each and every one of you, this board would lose alot of its enjoyment, not to mention insight into what is really going on in the BB house vs what CBS shows us...So...Thank you, Thank you, You All Rock..and I truly miss "FlyontheWall" and pray for God's peace and joy for her family.

Lost - are you gonna be able to sacrifice a little sleep tonight and join me tonight?
I am unsure of how I will be able to do because my 10 month old was up several times last night and I have been up since 5am this morning....

Hello, thought I heard the HG saying last night that they had to get up early this AM and were going to be under lockdown for most of the day.

Wouldn't it be great if BB did not allow them to know what the HOH competition was going to be?

For those that do not know yet, Friday night on TV is canceled instead we are going to view Saturday for a few weeks, wonder if we will get live Veto Competition or live luxury competition on Saturday?

Just - I'll try to help out tonight. I can't say what exact time since I have 3 older kids (15,19,22!) and I'm last to get the PC after they're all done. That's why I'm usually here so late. Then there's the unusual night when I fall asleep waiting or by the time they're done, I can barely focus my eyes to read what's already been written. LOL But I will, indeed, do my best to help out with the late night feeds! :)

Oh and Just, I forgot to say that it never occurred to me to check in here and see if anyone else had said they were posting, etc. I'll try to remember to do that from now on. Sometimes, if I'm only having time to read a bit and post a bit, I skip a lot of threads. I like your idea though. Thanks!!

Also, just wanted to comment, I usually just post w/o trying to proof anything since I want to get something up on the board so people will know someone is there and then I can get back to watching the feeds again and posting. I don't think anyone needs to worry about missing things or making typos. I think most of us can figure out what it was meant to say! It's just great something is there to read.

I'm totally amazed at the folks who can get almost word for word what the hg are saying. When I try to do that, I find I've missed 3 or 4 sentences after, since they talk so fast. I've done transcription for years, but there's always that little "backup feature" when you miss something. :) Anyway, just wanted again to say you all ROCK!!

(ps - I have no idea what my son did, but he took the headphones I use on here last night and usually the sound just comes out of the speakers. For some reason, I'm getting no sound at all now! Wait till he gets his butt out of bed. How dare he mess w/my BB!! <g>)

I am sorry to report that my 10 month old was attacked by a stomach virus and is very fretful tonight from the fever and loose BM's. I may be able to post some later but can't be counted on. as there are some posters right now and there is not much action. I will try to cover later....

Thanks Just, Sea, etc., who covered last night. I had Real freeze up on me and then when I went to reboot, I had lost my internet connection and had to mess around rebooting, plugging things in, out, back out, back in...I think you get the idea!

Just, I hope your baby feels better soon. I know how miserable it is to have a sick child and not be able to do more for them. Get some rest yourself if you can!!

Props to all of you!!

Sorry if this question was asked but I am curious to know if the women, Allie, Jun & Ericka have a secret alliance. Thought maybe a live feed picked it up since the show didn't. I'm kind of surprised if they don't.
