What do you mean "you are unable to get on"? Do you mean you're really busy and don't get a chance to get on the site, or do you mean that sometimes you aren't able to login or have problems with the boards?

If you ever experience issues with the boards, give me a holler and I'll get you fixed right up!

Oh sorry, what I meant was that I am unable to log on everyday because I am so busy. DIdnt mean to confuse you - sorry - I never have a problem loggin on - just time gets away from me - I would probably spend all day on here if I could.

Thanks Liss!!

been there, done that, doing it right now
rather an addictive site no complaints though.

[faxonfive]

Yes very addictive!!!!

I agree, Mike thinks I am crazy lately, but our desk is right in the living room, next to the TV. So I watch the TV, socalize with others, and work on the PC. I see no harm. But it is very addicting.

Super---- A multi-tasker we all are. Another title we carry. As long as the family will be reaping the rewards, I see no harm.
Another thing to put on a resume would be ( typing skills have improved too). I know mine have.

I was wondering if there is a place where we can find out how many points we earn for each action. For example, how many points do you get when you read a post, thank someone, post something of your own, etc. I was just wondering because sometimes I post a good amount & get a huge amount of points and then the next day I post a lot more & get only a few points. I'm also wondering if it takes a while for the points to show up & that's why I'm getting confused. (I'm just new to all this forum stuff & still trying to figure it out, so if I ask a dumb question just forgive me & move on. Thanks! )

I haven't seen anything that explains this either. Really doesn't matter though, the point system is nice but I am more into the friendship-commraderie and knowing that I am not alone in my thoughts. The points are a bonus that I don't even think about most of the time. Each post you put on here is helping someone in someway and that makes it worth it. I know my recipe book is getting very very full and we are really enjoying all the different flavors!

[rtebalt]

Yeh, I totally agree. I'm just a little OCD & have to know how everything works.

You know, I thought about doing this, but didn't only because I was worried that people would only post in certain areas for the points. I suppose it doesn't really matter all that much, does it, and if inquiring minds want to know I'll share... (I added them to the first post in this thread in hot pink)

Well, it's supposed to auto update every hour, but it also runs on a cache system to so that the server doesn't overload. (If this is greek, I'm sorry).

Oh, and the Awards are Automatically doled out according to various circumstances too. For example, Bizzy Bee - that goes to the person that posts the most in 24 hours. All the awards are recalculated daily. (So please don't take it personally if you have an award one day and then its gone the next!)
