Hi farmgirls,
Does anyone else find it difficult to remember which "threads" you've posted to? I know the "subscribe" feature is available...but I'd wind up with over 100 emails daily if I subscribe to all the forums that interest me. What do the other farm girls out there do to keep track? It's such a source of joy reading posts on this site. I am following Jo's advice and posting this as a new topic & feel sure I'll get a great idea or two. Thanks!
She considereth a field, and buyeth it; with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

Yes, True Blue Farmgirls who post a lot...do share your secrets!
I keep track of 2-3 regular forums that interest me most, but occasionally will post on other forums, and have to backtrack or eventually stumble onto the subject again. I tried subscribing, but Chandra is right, my Inbox was flooded with email notices everytime someone posted there.
Hopefully I will remember to check this thread again, soon!

I try to look at the "active topics" each day. I do sometimes miss something important though. I hate it when I miss a prayer request or don't realize someone is going through a struggle. There sure is a lot going on here...

I don't subscribe to any threads. I do check the "active topics" each day if I can, and usually seek out the sewing, gardening, across the fence, and barter/thrifty finds categories. And I try to post when I feel like I have something to contribute to a topic. Works for me!

Chandra~ I do the active topics too. You can also change it to update every two hours if you prefer (click on the the last time you logged on in the left hand corner once you've opened up the active topics screen and after you are logged in and scroll to the two hour option). Rhonda, I agree, I am always sad when I don't know of someone's struggles. Hope that helps though!

Well for heaven's sake, would you look at that...the "Active Topics" drop-down has options!  Yehaw Meg, you're terrific. I'm so glad you saw the topic. There's our answer farmgirls.
Thanks Meg!

Thanks to the other farmgirls who gave their answer also. I didn't mean to slight anyone by not acknowledging you,oops! I tend to go to the end of the page and start there, then read backwards...so thanks Katie-ell, abbasgurl, and Meg!

I always go to active topics and choose within 12 hours - then I go to members and click on a specific name to see what they have recently posted to, and then I will go to a specific category and see what has been posted on page 1, 2, 3, etc.
There are many ways to keep up to date!

You can also subscribe without e-mail notification. This works great.

I always just click on my little highlighted name on top and it shows me the recent topics that I have posted in.
you can be oh so smart, or you can be oh so positive. I wasted a lot of time being smart I prefer being positive. |
