Blog Post CommentDon't count you chickens till they have hatched. Such a simple saying with so many uses. The basic message of don't count on anything till it happens is important. We must, of course, make plans but we should not rely on the result. This leads on the the The best plans of mice and men Has a connection with the tragic story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers during the Great Depression in California. Such plans that are made are easily sent asunder by...

Blog Post CommentReference: Sounds like a great system for o/c overachievers who have no other lives. Not at ALL true, donnarae! Ever since I've started working at Social Strata (10 years in May), I've heard about the necessary balance of life and work, and I've been encouraged to live outside of work. All of us have lives, some of us have small children and some have important parts to play in others' lives. There are no overachievers with no other lives here! This CAN work. In ANY company. The key is...

Blog Post CommentI suspect you may not like to hear this from what you explain Rosemary. And you know I'm a supporter of LiveCloud. You see... there is actually a need for a 'support' function in the way it may not be seen by many in the way you explain. Someone who will just say... don't worry... Someone who can interpret concerns expressed here and express them on behalf of members who can't do so. It's like pastoral care. There are people who can respond appropriately to questions they are asked as...

Blog Post CommentThe brain is great for impromptu office dodgeball, as well. Or so I have heard. The Infopop swag will always be the best. Lightbulb for life.

Topic Reply👍🏆Thank you guys, all really good information. I will have to digest it! I have the basic structure of the site laid out. It is geared toward fostering exchange and encouraging interaction between members with each subgroup (with the exception of "medical conditions in the field") having it's own introduction and event forum, and a separate discussion forum. There are also chat rooms set up for each subgroup, including each medical condition listed in the "medical conditions in the field." I...

Blog Post CommentMost people in the United States have not heard of most privately-owned small-businesses in the United States. Within the market, people know of Social Strata (or at least of Groupee and Infopop), but in general, average Americans do not. So that comment is rather weak. I've been watching the coverage from afar and while its fun to see my friends getting some attention, I haven't seen anyone that has covered the story really get it. It's really about saying "As long as your responsibilities...

Blog Post CommentOriginally Posted by Ted O'Neill: Nice hearing from you, JC! I'm confident in the future of responsive design, though of course techniques and best practices will change over time. But the overall approach is unquestionably solid. From a browser standpoint, the best recent news is that Microsoft's next browser will be evergreen . The biggest handicap to web design has always been having to continue to support IE's archaic versions. Hi! Yes, the changes must come, but I do not have to like...

Blog Post CommentThanks Brian, can you be more specific. I can only find search, mod rules, mod queue and spam under Manage Content. Thanks

Blog Post CommentBrian, it warms my heart to see someone like you, who is very knowledgeable about the tech side of things on the internet, and who is much younger than I am, do something like this. The issues you raised are spot on and have motivated me to do the same thing. I got a Faceplant page about 2 years ago solely for family purposes. I think I have 8 "friends." My daughter was posting pics of the grandkids there at the time. However, due to the privacy concerns you linked to in your post, she has...

Blog Post CommentHi Rich, Thank you for the thoughtful and kind words! It's humbling to hear. I can't believe it's been over 5 years now since I wrote this post and quit Facebook. I can tell you that I've never looked back After a nasty election cycle like this year, I can definitively say I don't miss it at all! Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts; enjoy the Facebook-free life Brian

Blog Post Comment❤️Hi, thanks for these reminders. I'm planning to showcase my top "ranked" community members in a blog post, but I was hoping to be able to share a definition of what that ranking is/means in the post. (If I don't, it will only open up a huge can of worms.) You used to be able to hover over "Community Rank" in the profile and get a definition, but you can no longer do this on the new site. Can you tell me what it is*, and over what period of time it's computed (is it cumulative over the...

Blog Post CommentThanks Jayme! Julia, thanks for the heads up that the hover text has gone missing...I see that you've reported that in the support site, so I'm sure it will get fixed. Meanwhile, here's the text that should be appearing, to explain to a member what "rank" is: Community Rank Your community rank reflects your overall contributions to, and influence within, the community. The lower the number, the better! The rank is based on your overall community activity points, as well as the number of...

Topic Reply❤️Whew 😅 thank you! I was feeling kinda sad because I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you all anymore. For real. Ok I’ll direct my question to the email address! Thank you again for responding. Total sidenote here, I’ve traveled quite a bit in my life and some of the villages I lived in no longer exist and when I read through the email it somewhat invoked the feeling I get when I think about those villages. They quite literally do not exist any longer 🥺 Be safe and enjoy spring 🌷 love, PT
