Kim H. 10 Posted April 5, 2006 Hi! I'd like to make a suggestion about private messages. I don't know if it's possible, but it would be great if it would make some kind of noise when a message comes in. This way, we could see instantly if someone sent us a message and maybe be able to go to the chat room instead of playing "message tag" . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kim H. 10 Posted August 27, 2006 I've visited another site where you get an email when you get a PM. Could we do that here? It would really help to know as soon as possible if we get a PM, so we can ask each other to chat. And is it even OK to post when we are going to the chat room? I don't want to post it if it's going to clog up the messages or anything..... (I'm thinking about the recent post from Christian Mom on home businesses only posting once a week, but am kind of fuzzy on why, and if it would apply to postings like for chat room...) THANKS!

Jesusrulesme 10 Posted September 8, 2006 Hey Kim, I get emails when I receive PM's. You can choose that on your preferences. Do you want to go visit in the Chat room now? I was just there and there were 3 others on, but no one talking. I'll go there now and see if you're there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kim H. 10 Posted September 8, 2006 Hi Sunny, Thanks for the invite. I'm not sure I was online at the time you posted, though. This site doesn't update quickly, the chat room sometimes keeps names up for a day or two, long after people leave it. I wonder if people think they are being ignored because it looks like people are there but no one talks to them? I hope not - that could be a real turn off. Anyway, here is how to find out who is really on at any given time: From the home page, selct "Forums". At the bottom of the page is a section called "Currently Active Users". Click that and it will tell you what each person's last activity was/is and what time they did it. If it is a long time ago, you can assume they are gone. When I started here, I kept "tagging" with a friend. We kept missing each other. So I told her that what I will do is go into FAQ and log out from there. Then if she looks me up, and sees I am in FAQ, she will know I'm signed off. I will still do this, so anybody can look me up & see if I am really here! If anybody else wants to do this, too, it might be a good system! What do you girls think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
