Lanie & I were on the computer yesterday and discovered that the little message that tells the last time you made a visit to the board, is exactly that! I thought it meant the last time you posted. So, if you think someone hasn't been around the Garden lately, you can just check the last post they made, and it will also tell when they were here just reading. Wierd, huh?

BTW, who is Rommy? Lanie and I were reading some of the archives and she is one of the girls who welcomed me to the board last June when I was a Newbie. Evidently she still reads the board because it says her last visit was May 28th.

I *guess* if you are logged off (and I'm automatically logged on all the time) then it wouldn't show that information....is that correct Janet?

OK --just wondering if you all knew that bit of information.

I'm off for my errands.

Hugs,Shari

I'm not Janet - but yes, that is true. As long as you are "logged in" your visits are recorded, your posts are counted, and the little dots go away for each fully read message string!

If you visit without logging in, no notation is made of your visit - except being counted as 'someone' has viewed a posted message.

Ah, life in the electronic age!

Thanks, Shari, I didn't know that!

Rommy is Char, and she posted just a few days ago.....BB

I asked about that once because I thought there was a time error for my post. As long as you don't log in, you can lurk and not be noticed. ;-)

Enjoy the day!

Guess I never paid attention to that. I know I hate having to put my password in everytime I log in. Before yesterday I would just have to put my password if I had my CL hat on. And is anyone getting that pop up telling you that this is an unsecure zone? That will become very annoying real fast.

We have a lot of friends that were hear last year and just were not here once we changed the format. That is sad and I miss them. There was one lady from Omaha and as far as I know the only other lady from Nebraska here. Even if they don't want to post all the time I wish they would just stop and tell us that they were ok once in a while.

Once I started writing names down of all the people that posted here. Then after Women.com and I don't remember if there were more or not but WOW I had over 300 and just quit it was a madhouse for a while.

I am on DSL and the only time I really have any problems is when I delete my cookies and have to sign in with my user name cause there is not cookie there to tell it that I am who I am....lol.....Janet

Good morning Shari,

Rommy is Char from Buffalo, NY. I have her on my Yahoo IM but haven't heard from her for almost a year. Not long ago, I saw her icon lit up so contacted her on IM. I told her of the changes in iVillage and told her give the Garden a look-see. She, like many of us, has a problem with her computer and doesn't use it much. I haven't seen her icon lit up since that time. Kathey
