Can someone explain to me - the fist icons?
« on: July 17, 2008, 06:53:50 PM »
When you view a topic there is a fist icon next to it. Sometimes there is a thumbs up. And sometimes a thumbs down. Why is this?

What is the purpose of this?

I just now was trying to figure out what they mean and clicked on a thumbs down. I hope that doesn't mean I'm saying I don't like something!!!!

Help.

I never noticed this before. What does it all mean? Should I be aware of this as a poster/reader?

Hi Dandy,

Have you noticed the selection to choose from under "Message Icon"  which sits above the Bold - Italics - Underscore

There are a range of message icons to choose from each time you create a thread topic --- and also, each time you create a posting.

There is no fist - it is simply a Thumbs Up   or    a Thumbs Down


I noticed Sela's  a Thumbs Up for her thread.

so I selected a Thumbs Down for my thread.



I have just selected Smiley for this posting.

Hope that helps.

Hah!

So - a charming little icon, then?

I've only now just discovered the icon way over to the right...........> of a posting which brings you directly to the last post on a thread!

Imagine that. So easy, and I've been clicking and clicking.....

hah!

very funny.

I guess I needed some instruction on these things....

thanks!
