Newbie question Alert!!! How do you do a countdown? I am sure it is easy and this is just user error on my part, but I am searching the USER CP and can't find it. I bet it is hiding from me and making faces at me from behind my profile or something...

Thanks in advance!

You have to be a member for 3 months and have 100 posts in order to have a countdown.

Thanks Stephanie!! That clears it up for me just fine. I will reach 100 posts in the next few weeks (hopefully) and be ready when I reach the 3 month anniversary.

The other day, I got myself one of those new-fangle portable phones. It's not connected to the wall or anything. I can actually talk to people in my car!

Wow! You Americans get everything fancy!

OK, I'm really slacking here. I just noticed this "Friends" thing today when I received a request. I'm still not sure how it works though.

Now I have 2 friends.
2.
That's just one more than 1, and that's just sad.

Very sad indeed. You should work on that.



Request sent.

Be careful what you ask for.

I am still trying to figure out this stalking thing, so, you relax for a little while.

This whole thing is really confusing to me and I thought I was technologically competant. Although, I LOVE the photo albums. Sometimes we forget some wonderful pics in people's TRs so it's nice to see member's pics in one spot. I don't really get the "friends" thing either. I consider any member of MB my friend on here, although I did make my album pics "private" in case non-member strangers were trolling around peeping or stealing pics for whatever paranoid reason I have.

HEY! I am one of those friends - it's not sad!

I have to agree with that. The more I think about it, the more this alienates the people who are posting now and then. The ones that slip your mind, because they're not seen as often, yet we consider them buddies when we post. I don't want to miss anyone or offend anyone.

I think I am going to "divorce" all of the friends on my current list and stay single.

I worried about hurt feelings too. Mainly, my own.

I am relieved to find out I am not the only one who is not getting this.

haha, that was a short-lived marriage. Yeah, I consider everyone on MB a friend so it does feel kinda weird. I do like the photo album idea though, that's what makes the new profile layout cool!

Maybe I should just add every MB member to my "friends list", can you do that with one click?

It works on a site like myspace, but after posting here so long without this nonsense, it seems divisive (sp?)

I don't care either way but I don't want people to feel hurt or left out.

The part I don't like is where it lists who looks at your profile. I look at profiles to search posts or send PMs but it looks like I'm stalking or snooping when my name is left on their profile.

Well, stalking was possible before it showed who looked at your page.
I think it is ok for the stalkee to see who's been visiting.

But, if one truly wants to check up on people, then it's a problem. There were a couple of people I wanted to "visit" and thought better of it, because it shows

You better not break our friendship, lady!

I think it is just a fun thing - I consider everyone my friend as well and I really hope this doesn't create ill will because I think it's kind of cute. I do especially like the albums portion even though I haven't used it yet.
