Alis girls Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I have to admit to getting very lost on new layout. I also seem to be logged in permanently which makes it look like I am on here morning, noon and night. Hopefully my dinosaur brain will process where to find the bits I enjoy. Also where are the emoji? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would REALLY annoy me! Ali; your signature seems to have extra returns in it - it takes up half the page... wonder what went wrong there..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy, if you click on your own name, it will take you to a profile page, there are all your post summed up for you. The most confusing right now is that there are about 3 topics right now we all use to complain about the new lay-out. I keep thinking I wrote something in one topic but it turns out I did in the other. 6 hours ago, soapdragon said: Have just realised that the other window in the Forum that I use quite a bit - All Things Nice - has gone! This is taking some getting used to See? Not gone, just in the topic that Matt started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula123 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Trying to get the hang of the new layout, what do the +numbers under some people's names mean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click on the little heart on the right bottom of a post, you can “like” a post. Although I could have done without the ranking bit. Seems redundant and only motivates people to like posts so to get likes back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmashazzie Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 What would we do without you Cats Tails. You have it all sussed in days. Never even noticed little heart to side until you pointed it out or category at top of emoji box. I think Omlet should be employing you to do online tutorial. Can you add to profile? Like someone else said I liked seeing where everyone was based,it made a nice connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like someone else said I liked seeing where everyone was based,it made a nice connection. Haven’t figured out yet how to add information to your profile. Although you apparently can give yourself a title... You can also add a photo banner to your profile page and add the Omlet products you own. The Omlet products appear underneath your name, next to a post. Hadn’t found the categories with the smilies myself either. Dave pointed that out to me. Just keep clicking and trying away. Nothing will explode when you click the wrong thing. (You might only make Matt and Dave cry... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 TBH, GrannyTrish, I think it's my age. I remember not being able to use calculators at school (bet I'm not alone there ) to this all singing all dancing touch screen internet connected world we now live in. I'm not particularly interested in technology but need to use it daily. Trying to teach myself photoshop at present and that's hard work!!

GrannyTrish Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I remember when calculators first came on sale in the shops, and LCD watches! I'm not a geek as I've no idea how computers work and know nothing about programming, but I do like technology and learning to use it. Photoshop is a mystery to me, too. I need someone to teach me how to use the settings on my camera first and then I'll tackle Photoshop. Do you use it for your blog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every hen is listed on a new line. That’s definitely not your fault, but I have to agree with DM, takes up quite a lot of room on the page. Maybe you could condense it a bit by removing some returns (enters)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 What are calculators? The first one I ever owned was a Casio. Then when we took my mum and dad to Milestones in Basingstoke (it's a heritage museum) for part of their 50th wedding anniversary, I saw the same darned thing! Sheesh! They loved it because it also had my mum's Electrolux vacuum cleaner - and they still used it! As for techno stuff - I killed our printer recently. OH was whingeing that it was easy to refill the ink and I should be able to do it for myself. Now me and things like that do not mix. So I thought yep I'll replenish the paper - it's not as if I haven't done that before with other printers. So I did and then it all went kerflooey! When he got home from work he beeped more than the printer. He was not a happy bunny at all - an expensive one he used for work with scanner etc all singing and dancing one. We now have a really cheap printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyTrish Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I think it was only Casio calculators you could get when they appeared on the scene. It's the opposite in our house, Val. DH shouts for me when our printer doesn't work for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The ones we had in the bank were either hand crank calculators (with duplicated paper reels) and a few electric ones. One of the girls was so fast that while the machine could calculate fine, the actual gears and whatever couldn't cope - she burnt two of them out - bit scary when you see smoke rising up PULL THE PLUG EEEK! As for the computers. Delightful monsters that leaked oil all over our feet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 On The Nesting Box and possibly others, but I haven't paid enough attention, on the very left there are black stars and black circles, next to the posts. What are they for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
