No rep?!

[Book Crazy]

I need to post something so I can click on my name. I have to get stuff figured out.

 

You don't need to post to click on your name. At the top of the page, click on User Control Panel.

 

On the left of that page, its says Your Control Panel.

 

Click on Your Profile. That will take you where you want to be.

Where is this "Itrader" -- how do you find it? :001_huh:

 

I just figured it out and left my first feedback.

 

Okay, here is what I did; use the advanced search feature (the read search box above has a pull down that offers an advanced search). Find a transaction in which you were the buyer or seller. Pull up that transaction and copy the URL from the browser window. Then click on the name of the person who you had the transaction with. Go to that person's public profile and click on "View All Feedbacks for _________". When you click that you will go to a window that has a "Submit Feedback for ________" option. Click that. Then paste the URL in the appropriate box and fill in the rest of the form and voila! you just left feedback for a transaction!

 

If you want to see the feedback I left, visit MoniMoni's profile page. It works just like ebay.

 

Now I am off to rate all my transactions!!!

We watched some of Elizabeth Vandiver's lectures on the Iliad last night ...

 

TWTM has taken away our "time"! (Greek notion of honor as expressed by external means.)

 

Ooooh, I know. It's time for coffee.

Just in checking this out, theoretically I could leave positive or negative feedback for anyone, even those I did not have a transaction with. I didn't do that, but I could have. So theoretically this system could be used just like the rep system without the green squares. :confused:

[5kidsforME]

But doesn't it only come up as a comment on their profile?

No the comments are something totally different than the "new rep". The new rep is the things with the smiley faces on your profile.

To leave feedback for a transaction, you need a URL for the post that the item you bought or sold is in.

I want the one on the far right with the pointy end.

[5kidsforME]

How do you get in there to leave someone one? I haven't figured that out yet.

Ahhh I see, I went into Academy of Jedi Knights and figured it out. The thing is if you were leaving just a random comment then you would have to say if you were the buyer, seller or if it was a trade. So you COULD do it but you would have to lie unless there was a transaction.

I think I am missing something obvious here. What is the meaning of all of the colander references? Do I need another cup of coffee??:confused:

From what I know about Vbulletin, there are ways around that too- but I'm not willing to risk getting my hand slapped for experimenting. ;)

You have obviously been deprived of sci fi experiences in childhood. Not your fault! Your parents didn't provide you with appropriate protection and all of your thoughts have been remotely controlled! ;)

[beansprouts]

So in playing around with this thing, you can leave comments, but the comments do not link to a specific post the way the rep system did. I liked the rep system because the comments linked to specific posts and it actually made it easier to keep my place in conversations.

 

You can also have conversations back and forth on the "comments" form, but apparently anyone can read those conversations. I am not liking that part of it.

 

We can leave html messages just like when we are posting. If you want to link to a specific post, you can include the link in your comments.

[beansprouts]

Plus, now we can see who has the most icons in their "friends" box. Wow, sort of like seeing who gets the most autographs in their yearbook.

 

 

So there IS still a tangible way to measure our self worth! I knew tptb wouldn't let us down!!! :lol:

[beansprouts]

Quick, lets all go tag threads about Latin, and grammar, and algebra, and logic, and high ACT scores, and the Epic of Gilgamesh, and stuff like that. Everyone spread out. You, you, and you, take the high school board. You, you, and you cover the k-8 board.

Yeah, and I can leave comments to myself to remind me where I was - lol. I talk to myself at home why not on the net too. :tongue_smilie:

I need to be with my kids this morning too, but now I want to play on the computer!:D I guess I'll try and figure out how this new system works this evening...I never was very good at making new friends!;)

Got,...to...pull...myself...away...from....the...computer...now!

[Tammyla]

My morning has been turned upside down. :001_huh:

[Mamagistra]

WAAAAAH! All this new stuff and I can't hang around to play...I'm off to meet a boardie IRL! :auto: :D

 

Have fun, everyone! :lurk5:

[Doran]

Mikes, teA, booKs...

 

I found them. But, I don't understand how to "use" them, or how they are chosen. And, I now see little tag symbols beside some of the posts. I'm feeling old. And unable to learn new tricks. :glare:

[Kris]

Well, I'll go out on a limb and say I am glad that rep is gone. I don't think it served its intended purpose. I got a lot of rep for posts I made in parenting and political threads ... but those things don't have anything to do with my knowledge of homeschooling or ability to help others in that respect. What does it matter if someone likes/hates my political perspective? So, I'm glad we've moved beyond rep.

 

Tara

 

I'll climb out on that limb with you -- hope this ol' fat lady doesn't break the branch! I was up when the boards came back online last night and, while I admit to being just a *tad* disappointed that the rep was gone -- four more "reps" for another square *and* some very sweet comments gone forever -- that disappointment lasted about five seconds. Is the popularity contest now being moved to the friends list? :lol:

[Susan Wise Bauer]

Guys,

 

If it makes you feel any better, I promise you that we're all too busy to cruise around checking up on you. The colanders are cool, though. I want a red one.

Ah. Now I see. How could I be so uneducated? Thanks for warning me! :lol:

[nmoira]

I'm happy to see the change. :)

[OnTheBrink]

This is all so confusing. I'm going to Lowe's to see if I can find an area rug on clearance. Maybe I'll buy some mums while I'm there. I may swing by Starbucks, too.

[momofkhm]

Me too! I about had a heart attack when I went to check and had NO rep! It was always a little pick me up! Bummer!

 

Angela

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one! That's why I decided to look at the "no rep" thread at all. I had just ignored it so far!

[Kelli in TN]

So you are saying that area rugs and mums are the cure for confusion?

 

This information could have saved my sanity for so many years.

 

I don't need an area rug. Could I just get the mums and be only half as confused?

but, but, but, I just got my second emerald.:glare: I miss my jewels. Time for something new. :001_smile:

[mommylawyer]

Not long after I made the post, I had to get offline and take the kids to the ped for check ups. But I'm back and, although I miss my rep, I LIKE the changes ~

 

Friends

Photo Albums

Good/neutral/bad %

 

I like.

 

Goodbye rep, I'll miss you! But I'm looking forward to checking my percentages when I need to feel like I matter... :lol:

[Elaine]

What the???

 

 

 

 

I have 47 seconds to check in and now I have a new system to figure out? GAH!!

[swellmomma]

:lol: Was coming to post the same thing.

 

Look, we homeschooling moms don't get all that much validation at home, you know :glare:

 

Ain't that the truth, the rep posts was the only validation I get in my life at all, and was often a great pick me up when I was ready to toss in the towel. Oh well, guess I had better buy/sell/trade something now just to feel special again ;)

So, let me see if I understand this.....I am going to have to get my validation and self worth somewhere else?!?!

 

Dang! This could be tough on my emotional psyche!

You must channel your inner rep. Your rep has been inside you all along.

I'm so out of the loop. I haven't been here for a couple of days and I don't get the collander joke. Can someone fill me in?

the colander thread

:D

[LisaNY]

And you can click on other people and view what's been said about them! A lot more 'detailed' than the previous system.

 

It'll tell you who has viewed your public profile and when....

Shhhhh...they're watching....time to put the colander on my head!!

 

:leaving:

 

I just clicked on your name to test out this new system, and sure enough - my name comes up with others as having viewed your public profile.

Thanks. I'm giving you imaginary rep for that! ;)

Oh! You can post them in an album! You could title it "My Confusing Shopping Trip".

 

Be sure to look at colanders while you're there.

[Happy]

Wah! I'll miss my three green squares. Sniff, sniff...

 

Now I'm having uncomfortable social flashbacks to high school....I don't want to be in a who has the most friends contest. Ack! What if no body likes me? What if I don't have the right clothes? What if I get a pimple on the end of my nose? Ack! Ack! Ack!

 

sigh...I want the yellow colander.

 

Off to get the teen whose lungs are full of crud and whose brain seems to be empty to finish his work. School, remember? I'm the mommy now. That's better. I don't want to ever go back to being 17 again.
