What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do, (When Creating New Topics )
Dec 1, 2013 15:14:10 #
As everyone here who has ever started a forum thread knows, the FIRST thing you do is click the "Create New Topic" link at the upper, far left; clicking this will bring up a "new topic in general photography" text box, with an arrow at the far right; clicking this arrow brings up all of the different forums, and you select the one you want to start the topic in.
Why am I mentioning all of this, you ask? Well, a few weeks ago, I was about to start a new topic; I intended for it to be in the Chit-Chat Forum; but for the FIRST time in starting 162 new topics.........I inadvertently neglected to select "Chit Chat"; the new topic, (about U.S. Senator Ted Cruz ) came up on the general photography forum.
At this point, because it was about 4 a.m., (and not wanting to delete the whole thing and start over ), I thought about it some, then I sent Admin a PM, mentioning that it needed to be moved to chit chat.
The next day, when I got back on UHH, the first thing I noticed was that I had a PM; when I opened the PM, it was from Admin, saying that he had moved my post to the proper forum; I then went to the Chit Chat Forum, thinking that........well, who knows what to think on UHH, right ?
When I got to Chit Chat and found out about this MONUMENTAL, "obviously intentional "act".....(according to one guy ), here's what I found;
Reply #1. Beowulf; quote; "don't belong on this forum; political "crap" goes into Chit Chat".
Reply #2. Bill Cain; quote; "clown"
Reply #3. Olcoach; quote; "take this garbage where it belongs!"
Reply #4. MW Silvers; quote; "this belongs in Chit Chat, Gitzo; (thank you MW, I completely agree, but for once in 162 posts, I FORGOT to click on "Chit Chat"! (so shoot me ! )
Reply #5 Sharpshooter; Quote; "people who know before should be kicked off the forum"! ( why not just executed me at midnight in the electric chair, Sharpshooter ? ) That way, we wouldn't need to worry about recidivism ! (is that really a word? )
Reply #6 Bill Cain (yet again) "delete it" It seems that Bill can spend all day designing a ridiculous purple T-Rex dinosaur avatar, (which reminds one of the gay purple dino, "Barney" ), but he makes VERY brief comments!
Here's what I DID DO; when I first realized I had posted to the photography forum, the hour was already up, and as I'm sure everyone is aware, members can't delete ANYTHING, so I sent Admin a PM before I went to bed; (which apparently prevented a few heart attacks among the super-critical denizens of the photography forum. )
All in all, it was a VERY sobering experience! A few even wanted to know why I didn't "apologize" ! So, I'm thinking, that's a GREAT idea! So.....to all you like-minded conservatives and other "normal people".......I here-by apologize for forgetting to click on Chit-Chat, once in 162 times; To all of you libs and other "abnormal people".........( you KNOW who you are ), I suggest you "suck it up"!
Being a member of a big website such as UHH is a very enlightening experience; you find out that just like life everywhere on Planet Earth, there are LOTS an LOTS of very nice, "normal people", and a handful of "abnormal people", who are mostly DemocRATS, Libtards, secular-progressive-atheist ding-dongs, liberal Obama fan-boyz, low-information-vote-ten-timers, communists, socialists, and various other mal-contents. You KNOW who you are;.......(so do I )
If my generally conservative, common sense posts upset you, (and they certainly must, as much as you "P&M" ), I suggest you refrain from reading or commenting on them; of course, we ALL know that a low-info-libtard CAN"T resist reading common sense posts and calling them "stupid". (as others have suggested, you might want to try surgery. )

Don't let it get you down. Some idiots will write anything when protected by a computer screen. If I see anything "stupid" or something that "doesn't belong"
I just pull up something else. And the fact that I think it's stupid and doesn't belong means absolutely nothing.

Are you aware that you can just go to the forum in which you would like to post and...then click on "create new topic."
Directly above the list of new topics is "Create new topic."
Blessings :-)

Thanks for the story Gitzo, I found it amusing but not necessarily surprising as I have been on the forum for awhile now.
What truly amazes me is that one can select "report issue" under any post and within the drop down menu you can check "Wrong Forum Section, Needs To Be Moved" and presto....it will be sent to the administrator who will then decide what action to take. No fuss, no muss, no confrontation, simple. 8-)

Yeah, I guess I knew that at one point, but I haven't tried to "report" any issues for so long now, I just sent Admin a PM; BTW, as some of these threads I have started are getting so many replies, I just had a great idea from another website that I still belong to, but I never post on any more.........once you start a thread, every reply is numbered, starting with "1", and continuing into the hundreds; anyway, when you want to respond to a particular post, you can just mention the number, and anyone interested can scroll up or down, find the thread title, and click it open; the big advantage being, it saves TONS of space, as everyone responding doesn't re-post the WHOLE, lengthy post of the OP. I thought about suggesting it to Admin, but it would require additional programming, and I assumed that there wouldn't be sufficient interest to go to that much trouble.

Just to be clear Gitzo, my post was meant for those folks who constantly post complaints about where a topic is created in error by someone....or feel they must PM that person to complain, rather than use the "report" button. You properly sent a PM to the administrator. 8-)
