"DOn't you think you are pushing your luck, posting two vanities in two days with essentially the same topic? "

Yeah yeah. I know. But no, I'm just a slow learner. Thank you sir, may I have another?



And yes, pretty sure the PC is plugged in. Hilarious, quite.

And I even know what a ping is.

What I don't get... and, btw, I've stumbled around & figured out a few things on my own being, you know, a really really bright guy... but what I have not figured out is how to arrange to be pinged for each new Amy's List post/comment.

And yes, I do STILL know I am STILL an idiot. I'm sure you were wondering.

But... instead of me sitting & searching for this and the next 5 things that baffle me... is there an FAQ ? I'm seriously sorry to be stupid. But... is there a users guide?

No, we all pretty much do it on our own.

I haven’t read your new thread all the way through, yet, but most people keep their “ping list” in a separate file, or maybe on their home page.

When you want a whole group of people to read a certain post, you put ALL their names in the “To” part of the post, with each name separated by a semicolon. If you have a group of name of FRiends already on a list, you just cut and past the list into the “To” section. Just make sure each name is separated by a semicolon.

I’m hoping a bunch of n00bs come to this thread; first of all, they’re fun to play with. Second, FReepers will eventually tell them how to do what they want to do, on the forum. ;-D

Hope you are having a good day.

If you learn to use search, you’ll be lightyears ahead of the game.

Searching by keywords such as “pinglist” is an example.

FR is very user friendly. If you want to be on someones ping list(a subject interests you), just Freepmail or post to that person and they will add you to the list.

BTW. Freepers don’t like vanity posts and have a very good memory as to yesterdays posts.

Good luck! Noobie!

I am here to help.
Do you want on Amy’s opening ping?
I pinged you to my post today.

[Eagle of Liberty]

but what I have not figured out is how to arrange to be pinged for each new Amy's List post/comment.

If you want to be included on a certain ping list....simply comment or FRmail the person that asks if you want on their ping list...Sometimes they won't ask, but most times they will post a comment like:

Amy's List Ping....please let me know if you want on the list.

Ping lists are lists kept by other freepers and they will ping you with most of the stories that show up on here which relate to that topic.

arrange to be pinged for each new Amy's List post/comment.
Paging Amy. Please pick up the white courtesy phone.
A ping list request in the completely wrong location.

But... is there a users guide?
Yes, and you're experiencing it.
