beginer on a computor

@maddison hi, i typed a letter but i dont think it posted. so i will just make this a quicky and say thankyou, and can you tell me what it means when it says ,your content has been auto saved. thanks again. tonys

Hi @tonys,

I can see two messages to @maddison in the last 30 minutes so your messages are coming through!

Also, I not sure if you already know, but in the bottom left hand corner of your messages there is a thumbs up symbol - that tell's you who like your posts.

You are doing a great job 🙂

Best wishes,

FloatingFeather

@FloatingFeather thankyou for letting me know. i did wonder about the suport and thumbs symbols, one last thing i need to know. when is it going to stop raining. there must be a key on this machine to do that , i ll keep looking, take care every one, and thanks again.

@tonys if you figure out the key that makes the rain stop please let us know - i think a lot of us need that key! 🙂

Take care and look forward to seeing you on the forums 🙂

@FloatingFeather i found if i put my finger in the wall socket where the computor plugs in, the rain seems to stop till i wake up. hope that helps. dont reply , i dont deserve it for that one. sweet dreams everyone

@FloatingFeather ok i think the letter that was meant to go to the person that wrote the learning resistance article went to the lonely 45 person so i still havent worked out how i send

a compliment to some one that has written something profound and a comfort sandwich to feed some struggleing soul , might need some more help one day when you get some spare time and i do know you have a lot of people to help so please put me at the end of the que. happy days tonys

Hi @tonys , you asked about the "autosaved content" - it's just an automatic save that happens when you're typing out your reply. I ignore it most of the time, unless I happen to lose my reply while typing it for some reason, then I click "load autosaved content" and it comes back.

You also asked about how to send:

To send, it's really just uploading a post to the website. If you've tagged someone, they will get a notification in their email inbox and also in "New" (top right on the website). If you've pressed "Reply" and are typing out a reply, then pressing "Post" will send/upload the message to the website.

Please ignore if that's not helpful!

@NatureLover thanks for your help. the saved bit i now get. and i can tag some one to send to them personally. so im thinking ther are people that reply to some thing i sent. if i find it i can reply direct. then there are people that sent letters to other peoples posts or forums i think they are called. i i see one i can tag them. then you have and article like , build resistance that i came accross . ( is that called a blog or a post) ? and not sure how to leave a comment where the auther will see. but ill have another go latter in the week. back on the farm a post goes in the whole, a blogs what a stepped when i walked out the back door, and threads are the hand me down rags that pass for wardrobe here, and yes im sure some one helped me with all this but my computor is getting as messy as my place. now , no need to repply , im going to see what my new friend mr google has to say. if i were there id give you a big thankyou hug, . take care and stay safe. tonys.

Aww, @tonys , you're a breath of fresh air here on the forums! It's great to have you here 🙂

I'm wondering if what you're looking for is a way to send a direct (private) message to someone on the forums? Unfortunately there's no way to do that. The moderators need to see what we post, in order to keep us all safe.

You can find their reply by going to "New" in the top right hand corner, and then clicking on the specific notification (scroll down the list).

It's called a thread, and you leave a comment by clicking "Reply" and typing a post, then pressing "Post".

I hope you're enjoying the forums and not finding them too complicated!

Hey @tonys

How are you?

I haven't been online for a couple of days. Your 2 letters showed up in my notifications. I have caught up in reading this thread (old rag) now.

Thanks so much for your message. I had to read over your description of using your big toe on the shift key a few times before I 'got it'. Lucky you wrote "just kidding" in capitals! I agree that you are a breath of fresh air.

I'm so happy you found us here & you seem to enjoy contributing. Your input is valued!

Well done with learning the new skills for the website. You are doing great. I also find it impressive, & a great personal reminder, to see that you ask so many questions.

I'm always happy to hear anything about the farm. It's basically the opposite of being here online. I have a little sympathy for your poor chook. Enjoy those eggs. I'm imagining how much nicer they must be, compared to the regular supermarket ones.

I adore your light heartedness!

Kind regards,

maddison
