New People, The FAQ, please read!

[wiccie]

Yes, TLE, we'd all better watch out for Alicia...Unless, of course, she has Amber with her and they screen that cut scene from "The Crush" where Aly Hannigan showed up as Amber's sexy new "riding student" with the hay-rolling and...Um, what was the question?

[Kalita]

On the abbreviations issue...

Perhaps someone could set up an Abbreviations FAQ on a separate page,a nd we just stick in a link? That saves space in the main FAQ, but also lets people look stuff up.

And, hey, I'm an IT gal; I'll volunteer to set it up, knowing HTML and all that jazz. Sound good?

[bzengo]

Bumping yet again. Oh what excitement.

Ok, that was a bit lame.

This is a question for any and all mods -

I think this is the best place for this question.

When closing a new/duplicate thread, is there a way to signify which thread you’re placing that information when you lock it? I think some of the newer people want to jump in and share, but don’t realize that the conversation already exists. By closing their thread, but redirecting them, you might be able to help the newer people find those conversations that will help them to integrate and share more easily...which makes for many more happy kittens with W/T goodness to offer.

Did I make any sense?

I am not sure this is a problem, it is our policy to do so. We usually direct people to their exact post.

Webwarlock, those will be incorporated in the next version.

Even though I just said it the other day, some people still need to read the FAQ, so they can edit their posts and STOP DOUBLE POSTING.

[Bobo's Mom]

Xita - I guess I'm not being clear tonight...a fuzzy head makes for interesting posting that's short on the clarity! My fault.

What I'm wondering is if that person can also be directed to the faq within the thread as well as where their topic has been placed...especially # 2. I think it might be a way to clear up confusion amoung the people who want to jump in.

I'm still polishing it, but I hope you get the idea...quote:

[xita]

Kalita you are a goddess! Shall I just link to it, or when are finished you'll tell me where to upload?

Wonderful!

[Kalita]

A link would be fine, xita. I'm going to bed now (I just got all the tables done up), I'll polish it more tomorrow and add Web Warlock's that I didn't already have.

Glad to help.

[Web Warlock]

Glad to help too.

No need to credit me, I stole them!

Just a quick note - updated it lots over lunch, pretty much complete now.

Email if you need anything more added.

Hey thanks, I added the stuff to this thread, I will add it to the copy online later!

I have a question regarding the FAQ... or rather a possibility I (and perhaps other kittens) might enjoy...

And before posting it, I'll ask first, cause I'm nice that way

Would it be possible to create a weight-loss support thread? Since this is a community and OT topics are generally accepted, I was wondering. Maybe it would help some kittens, such as myself (I'm so selfish I'm a group all by myself!), to break the barrier. I used to go to a specific board about this, but you know, you start talking about yourself, and as soon as I mentionned the word "lesbian" I just got shut out from mostly everyone... And since weight is an issue that most women face on a daily basis, it might be nice, I don't know...

Just a thought.

Morphine, who lost her support group and feels lonely in front of the temptation that is chocolate mousse...
