@cmoneyspinner Did you ever get your post/image issue sorted out? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like what you describe. At least not here on LB. If the image dimensions seem right, maybe it’s the size of the file? Many sites can’t accommodate an image that’s more than 2 MB, or sometimes 3 MB. Could it be that?
Also, sometimes there are…[Read more]

I tend to share almost any good post on Stumbleupon, regardless of the topic. On Pinterest, I share if I have a board that fits and I think the post will interest my Pinterest pals. I also tend to pin some of the best posts to group boards where they will gain more exposure.
I use Google+ as a bit of a catchall, like StumbleUpon. If the content…[Read more]

@kaka135 I find it awkward to read and respond to other users’ wall updates here on LB. You’re right: it was much easier to keep up with the news on BlogJob because of the notifications and the timeline feature.
I think these things are not necessarily standard features when a site like LB sets up its forums and profile pages. They probably…[Read more]
That’s how I’ve been finding my mentions too, Grace. It does take extra time, though. Which means I’m less inclined to take the time to check if I’m busy with other things. As you say, we all divide our time between different activities on different sites as well as offline.

@Ruby3881 I look everywhere specially on the right hand side where we read activities of users here. The site is still young and I am sure they are aware of what improvements are required for its smooth functioning.
I am getting the little orange pop-up notifications for mentions but when I look in mentions or notifications, nothing is there. I hope I’m not missing anybody! I hope @support can figure out why the notifications aren’t displaying or redirecting properly….

@peachpurple I wish your son all the best with his exam! I hope he will achieve very good grades.
I just got my oldest daughter’s transcript of marks for the past 3 years in the mail today. I am very proud of her! She got very high grades.
In my time, they would have called her marks “high honours.” I think today, they only put “Achievement…[Read more]

@Ruby3881 Now stop lecturing will you? 😀 These are the words that I often hear from youngsters around me but here a senior has to say it.Never mind. Happy that you are able to interact here as I see you are busy- keep the tempo going.
Harsh words, Grace? Surely you overestimate how mean you are! I know when you grumble that you’re just feeling left out. Your bark has always been much bigger than your bite.
I tend to just pass over those words that are written when friends are being unkind, anyway. Most times, the deeper meaning is that someone’s feelings have been hurt and…[Read more]
@Ruby3881 But my harsh words brought you back here. Now don’t run away but make up for lost time. You owe that much atleast as you have earned good here. 😀
@Ruby3881 I tag each and every comment of mine no matter where. I get to see them in my activity but the responses are not always included in my notifications. I have tagged support and hope they will rectify this.

@Ruby3881 Remember the Olympics mascot the polar bear Misha? This mascot became the rage the world over and was commercially exploited.
So choose a similar one for yourself.

Hmmm, I’m not sure that I care to be a mascot….. Maybe you’d care to wear the funny costume, Grace?
This is why I like to tag the author when I comment. They’ll usually get a notification for the mention (although today I’m getting notifications but then the mention won’t show…)
@Shavkat You are right there. We do not get notifications even when comments are made on blogs. I am tagging @support.
@Shavkat If you read this entire thread you will get more information.
@Ruby3881 We are all facing them but are doing fine – atleast I am. I am here every single day – very active. If there is a will there is a way.
You are the mascot of LieracyBase. Your participation here will do wonders to this site.
We all work on more sites than one.

Just had a very long chat with my daughter. Thank goodness for unlimited long distance!
What connection do you have. Is it a skype connection where you can see each other?
@bestwriter Thanks for your understanding and your friendship. Sometimes it helps to hear kind words 🙂
@bestwriter I am trying to catch up today, Grace. But it’s very difficult with the ads and the video on every page. I’m also having that same issue we had before, of the orange bars that have no notification in them and won’t go away. I’m trying to track what activity they might be related to, so they’ll go away…
