Hi all,

Can anyone tell me what the red symbol (maybe a file I think) to the left of the discussion title means on this forum?
I've seen it a couple of times and can't work out what it symbolises.

I know this isn't the most exciting contribution to the discussions, but I'd really like to know what it is for!

Hi Fiji, it's to show you a feed is available from the page you are browsing.
Something I have recently introduced to the forum. See Previous Discussion

Not sure what the fire symbol would mean though. What browser are you using?

Hi Geoff,

I'm not sure what you mean - what's a feed, a link to something else?

Hi Fiji

Basically it's a link to frequently updated content. My one gives you the last 10 posts on the forum but there are many available from other sites. You can use a feed reader to display many at a time. For example bbc news, hastings observer latest news, etc etc all in one handy place with links for you to click if you fancy reading more from the source website.

Have a look at http://www.whatisrss.com/ for a full explanation.

Hope this helps

Hi Geoff,
thanks for explaining - I kind of understand - think I'm a bit of a technophobe I'm afraid. I'll have a look at the website you pointed me to.

I think broaden the category away from "singles only" and allow people to make contact generally. I say this partly because if you are new to an area you might want to meet 'friends' and have no other easy outlet other than on a site like this one.[/quoted]


Okay Richard, lets do this, I will start a new forum section for meeting people. Can you think of a catchy title for it? "Make new friends" sounds a bit sad as you say.

Need something that gets away from the idea that you are looking to "pull" someone

1. "A Friend In Need"

2. "Just Good Friends"

3. "Not Going Out"

:laugh:

Hi all, I have gone with Socials as suggested by Jennymole. We'll see if it proves popular over the next six months or so and keep it if it's a success. Happy posting!

Well we've given it a good six months and only three topics posted. I am going to move the three threads into other sections and do away with "Socials" as a non-starter.
