It's time for another posting refresher course - Volume 3 (Welcome Newbies)

We're just newbies too.... LOL!

Yes, but we're better looking and far smarter than the older fellows.

[Billthedrill]

BTT. You didn't tell them about the initiation.

Hint to newbies: the proper reply is "thank you sir, may I have another?"

Another handy link for newbies. Someone should update this one.

NEWCOMERS: Welcome Center and Information Desk

[Admin Moderator]

Tell me about it. Did you see the photo of the Girl Moderators?

[Admin Moderator]

We leave that for you guys. We can't take all the fun.

[Salvation]

Thank you. Bookmarked

[RedBloodedAmerican]

If we post from a blog, can we include other topics besides just "bloggers"?

I know the answer (I think), just want to see it here.

Blogs, IMO, are not breaking news, front page news or anything else but opinion.

"This doesn't mean your one thought is a thread by itself"

Worth repeating

[Admin Moderator]

Yes, click on the blog forum.

At the upper left hand corner, directly under the blue Free Republic link, is a gray Bloggers & Personal link. Click that.

That will open a new page, click on Topics for a list of available topics to add to your articles.

Every forum has this same feature.

Thanks for posting this. I'm not quite a newbie, but didn't know much about the html formatting stuff. Will have to practice some.

[LibWhacker]

This doesn’t mean your one thought is a thread by itself.

Oops, I detect a loophole! How about thought fragments? I've seen a few of those posted as whole threads, too. :-)

[Admin Moderator]

Fragments are incoherent, they get pulled. They're under the 'you didn't really want to post that, did you, because if we leave this up, you're going to get your a** handed to you on a silver platter?' category. (newbies are exempt, longtimers get the pass)

[Darksheare]

Half-awake/half-alive Darksheare bump.

[Darksheare]

Thought fragments?
I have THOUSANDS of them.
And they're all weird.
Heck.. it'd be an Admin lecture series thread on "bad ideas in posting" with myself as an example..
Strangely, I sound like I'm making sense but probably am not.
G'nite all.
Save a troll leg for me please.

[Quick_Rod]

Bump for moderator and for the filing system.

[hispanarepublicana]

Newbeeees. Baaah!

In my day, you couldn't start a post until you'd responded to several threads!!! If you tried to start a post, lightning would come out of your computer screen and melt your face and clicking finger off!!!

And, weeeeee LIKED IT!!!

[hispanarepublicana]

And another thing:
If you think you've seen the image of a host on the sun, don't start a thread about it!

[Defender2]

#25. Excellent!!!!:-)


Best FReegards,

D2

[The Mayor]

BUMP
