I've been around here well over a decade. Happily so. Usually when I logon to FR..I'll check my Freepmail first, then pings ( scroll down and click on those that interest me) , then Articles ( same as with pings)..Once in a while I'll click on "Commments." Just now, while attempting to eat AND FReep at the same time, I clicked on "Activity" by accident...
Don’t know about the “when” of it all. I tend to find interesting articles via the “comments” tab by replying to interesting comments before reading the article, like most all FReepers do. Keeps things interesting, gives it a sort of charming ADD ping-pong match effect.
But, I suspect it went away when the “views” counter went away, myself. Seems like the one would enable the other. I miss the views count. You could tell a great deal more about a given thread than just comments. Some articles got really bizarre view levels. You knew it was a hotbutton when the views took off like that.
To find out the answer, remember this, “A penitent man kneels before Jim Rob ...”
I can remember back BEFORE the “ping” feature was added...
Meeting in Boca again? Oh, the ennui.
You know, I was planning on going to that meeting until I read that. Now I'm not sure if it's a VRWC meeting, or ... ?
But don’t forget—too much time spent under the “Comments” tab leads to posting duplicate threads . . . and posting duplicate threads leads to blindness.
Would you like Moose with that Cheese?
How was it added? You just put somebody’s screen name in the “to” field and then write “Ping!”
Unless, of course, you mean bump but don’t know bump from brillo, at which point you ping the OP to his or her own thread, lol.
What is the Activity tab?
LSD
Someday Jim will give us an edit button, until then I will continue to make an ass of myself.
Ping!
An Edit Button? You cannot be serious. Why not just call it what it will turn out to be, the “Troll Button?”
Are you logged on?
Never, ever, under any circumstance, FReep and eat at the same time. Who knows WHAT could happen.
I’ve never had a Rice Crispy Teat before.
Especially Chinese food..I was actually trying to remove a grain of fried rice that had gotten between some keys on the keyboard..
Can I drink?
Bump!
