Patricia W Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi everybody! I haven't been "openly" on the forum for ages, primarily because I switched from a laptop to a tablet, and couldn't work out how to access it from that. ( I know- pathetic- but I'm an IT numpty). So, I became a serial lurker, logging on every day, sometimes more than once, following the chat, but unable to comment, and becoming an anonymous"guest". Anyway, this new format has encouraged me to have another go on the tablet and I'm ashamed to say, it was very easy! So, I'm back. But, looking at the number of those officially online, and the huge number of those who are registered as "guests". I wonder if anyone else wants to confess to "lurking"? And, if so, what's their excuse? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Yes I often lurk then I feel guilty because I know it feels a bit rubbish when nobody replies so then I try to engage. I do enjoy this new layout more, I'm keen on the 'like' button because I can show interest even if I don't know what to reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Not a lurker, but I'm really getting used to the new forum. I have used the like button a few times, as Patsylabrador says it's a good way to show interest when you have nothing to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I think it's going to get a lot busier when members realise how easy it is to use 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I know the button is there but I forget to click and I'm onto the next thing or off doing something else. I don't consider it an important feature to be honest. I do like the emoji/emoticons though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
