silversurfer 168 Report post Posted July 4, 2013 I just joined this forum and somewhat confused, what constitutes a post? Is there a difference with communication with other members or posting a new "thread" as I am now and this 5 days 5 posts, do I have to do 5 new threads? I'm genuinely interested in participating and interacting in this forum and want to start off on the right foot. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135639 Report post Posted July 4, 2013 What you just did is a POST... you started a NEW THREAD by clicking the "Start new thread icon"... Alternatively you can post a comment on a existing thread by clicking the "Reply Publicly to this thread" icon... Both of these things would be considered a post. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomer 33202 Report post Posted July 4, 2013 Replying to any of the threads will do. I would also suggest that you go to the Rules and FAQ pull down on the top of the page and take some time to read the various entries there and you won't be confused for very long. Take your time getting going and I'm sure you'll do fine. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mod 135639 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 A VERY LARGE portion of the internet is comment/discussion forum based this days. (Facebook even has comment threads and posts)... Unless these are NEW computer users I can't imagine the idea of posts and threads being so foreign... but if you just take some time to read and explore the site it's not all that complicated. Just take some time and explore, if you get stuck as in here and the other members and I will help if we can. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad 49548 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 I remember being initially confused as to what counts as a post and what doesn't when I first started participating. One thing to clarify is that leaving a comment on someone's wall (on their profile), private messages, commenting on a picture, or commenting in a social group do not count as a post. Basically, you have to leave a comment here in a forum subject. As MOD says, if you click "reply to this thread" you know you're posting. :) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 I'm in the same boat, this is so weird and new to me. AWW, please don't feel weird, this is a great and discreet place to discuss, reply and view all kinds of people. Most here are non-judgemental, accepting and welcoming to new members and want you to feel comfortable and part of this community. If you view profiles your handle will appear on that persons profile, they may choose to leave a thank you for visitng message on your wall/profile page. If you choose to leave a comment on someone's page keep in mind that comment will be visible to all who visit that profile. If you want to send a message to anyone that you only want for your eyes and theirs send it by a pm. If you want to comment on a thread just hit the reply button. Or if you just want to thank someone for their comment hit the thanks button. It takes a bit to get used to it, when I joined I made mistakes but its through those that you learn. If you have any questions just ask, or post a thread for multiple responses. The main thing is for you to enjoy and feel like you belong, those are my wishes for you:) 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ****ed T*****ess Report post Posted July 8, 2013 hello Digg, like you i found this confusing. So much information here, but I am sure I will get it all figured out in the next five days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ****ed T*****ess Report post Posted July 8, 2013 I have just joined this site and it sure is overwhelming as to starting a new post. It sure would help if there was a HUGE button right on the main screen which said ...Posts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mod 135639 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 Maybe the terminology (post/thread) is the issue? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Northman 16522 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 Maybe the terminology (post/thread) is the issue? Perhaps '5 posted comments on threads' might be more clear? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mod 135639 Report post Posted July 12, 2013 I adjusted the NAG screen for new members to specifically say Posts or Threads (not comments) and they now need to post 1 post to remove the NAG screen and still 5 posts to open the recs and other features Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travlr6487 110 Report post Posted August 11, 2013 I'm not only new to CERB, but a newbie hobbyist as well. NOT new to computers, but I haven't spent much time on social media so yes, the whole threads/posts thing can be confusing! Also, I have to say that I happened on this while planning a trip to Canada - I'm from the US - and your laws and attitudes toward the escort industry are a refreshing change from those here! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoh2251 100 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 I just found out I had been a member for 504 days! Ah well...yes I will post. I don't know about 5 of them.... Just wondering where to get an R&T massage in Halifax. In Toronto and elsewhere it is easy- I don't know where to go here. Can anyone suggest? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
