Please explain.........

Savannah

Okay..I'm humbling myself....I tried to figure this out...but to no avail....Please tell me what the little icons are for Agree....Disagree....Flag....Like...Awesome....etc...

I haven't done anything with them but find most of you post and mark these....would someone or all of you....please tell me how to use them....duh!!!

tjs

Oh Savannah you are so funny! I think it adds points to the person you marked? Like agree, LOL, insightful so on. And once someone gets so many points they get a gold star!

Instead of just reading a post and I might not have time to tell the person it was funny or insightful, I can now click on the icon. Like now I'm giving you an 'awesome' for putting yourself out there and asking.

Took me awhile. There is an old thread somewhere where David explains it.

Anyway, I do think you are awesome! :-c

Savannah,

Here's the explanation tjs is referring to: forum.drawmixpaint.com/discussion/comment/573/#Comment_573

For instance, look at Gary's profile: forum.drawmixpaint.com/profile/17/Gary

To the right of his name you can see he has one star and is over halfway to getting his second (indicated by the star outline). @Gary is not to be taken lightly! B-)

Savannah

Thank you all for explaining...appreciate....but one more questions...What is "trolling"..

I always liked this definition:

A troll is someone who, finding that no one likes them, decides to pretend that it's on purpose.

Basically, trolls intentionally stir up trouble, and enjoy provoking people.

gfish

trolling in southern Ohio is something we do behind a boat to catch a catfish. )

Vangie

Isn't that "trawling" for fish?

kikiblanca

Trawling is with a big net, trolling is with a rod and reel. Or if you are Cuban like me, a hand line like the Old Man and the Sea....haha

gfish

I caught a 47 inch Muskie 'trolling' in the Ohio River.

Gary

Sounds like a 'gfish' tale to me...47 inch Muskie?!

JodieU

Trolling...
I heard someone call a troll a 'keyboard warrior' which made me laugh myself silly.
A troll is a person who gets a kick out of writing rude and offensive things to get a reaction. They generally only carry on like this online because they are cowards, thus they can hide behind the anonymity of the internet.

Savannah

JodieU....you got me smilin" this morning....your comment is so funny! )

Ronna

I thought trolling was the same as lurking.
But talking about these icons... I read posts using my iPad. You use your finger to scroll down. Once I touched an icon by mistake. Luckily it was an agree icon and not a LOL. Is there a way to undo a touched icon?

gfish

I think lurking is when you are just looking at the fish and trolling is when you are trying to catch them lol.

gfish

I get absolutely no respect around here. lol

Click the icon a second time.

Gary

Ok Gary.....I'm a true believer now!! and a bit jealous of your photoshop skills!

sue_deutscher

I love it when they jump in the boat.

gfish

I now know how Rodney Dangerfied felt

LizONeal

How tall are you Gary....makes a big difference if you are 4'8 or 6'8 ya know! Need to always have a yard stick around with this group of cynical sarcastic people! ;;)

Gary

Liz, I'm 2 inches taller than Wahlon.......and much stronger.....and I can run very fast, as in run away in the opposite direction! You'll have to pay Nancy and I a visit in Florida to find out my true height. :P

LizONeal

I meant gfish.....everything is not about you Gary almost 2 stars! :P :x

gfish

Yea Gary, there are other Gary's around here that contribute to things. Anyway Liz, I am 6', tougher than nails. Killed a bar when I was 3 and can run like the wind. Only problem is, I stretch the truth. B-)

tjs

Pretty soon everyone is going to have lots of stars. Do we then work backwards and start getting them removed? Just wondering :-B

gfish

That would be a good idea. Then Gary would not be so puffed up.

The points required to gain an additional star increase significantly each time you get one. Five stars is not something I expect to see for… a long time. And when that happens, if it happens, I'm prepared.

Gary

I'm not puffed up!! Just naturally bloated. I need a hug.....just wait until Garry K. gets back on line from his trips, flu, furniture building stuff....then we can really get confused. We need to come up with a nickname for Gary (gfish)....how about "FishermanOfTallTails". I take that back....if I start this I don't want to know the names TJ, Liz, Gary and others will come up for me.....I need another hug! =(( Going to find my wife....or my cat.....or a kindly looking stranger...or...

Have you noticed that if you press the "Post Comment" button with nothing on the comment box in a mistaken effort to navigate back to the homepage - you get insulted about your physique?

Denis

Vangie

@Denis
LOL... ) ) )

Gary

That's good Denis....really good! ) I just had to try it....but you knew that.

gfish

LOL I had to try too

LizONeal
