Symbols on post
 
I haven't been able to find what the symbols at the bottom of a post stand for. Could someone explain them or direct me to where I can find out their meanings?

Thanks

If it isn't obvious who owns the post (power company, whatever), I would start by calling District Property Management: 352-753-4022.

Uhhh, what "post" are you referring to? Forum posts? Lamp Posts? Posts cards? Post Toasties? :D

If you mean the forum posts, just try each one. You can't break it. They seem pretty obvious except maybe for "multi-quote" which allows to you "quote" multiple posts from others then reply to them in one single reply rather than multiple replies. I don't see "symbols" except for the "thumbs up" which lets you "LIKE" a post (one of the dumbest things ever invented thanks to Facebook).


EXAMPLE OF MULTI-QUOTE:

I know I shouldn't tack on this question, but the Devil made me do it. What do the "Thanks" and "Thanked xxx times in xxx posts" mean? How do you thank someone?

You click the "thumbs up" button to "thank (ie. LIKE)" a specific post. "THANKS" = "LIKES" "Thanked XX Times" is how many times people thought your previous posts were amazing and want to show their love. Frankly (thankly?) I'd prefer if you send me $50. :D

I "thanked" your post so you can feel the love and affection of being "liked" .

I thanked you back! I was wondering if the "thumbs up" was supposed to be the equivalent of a "thank"...it doesn't seem to quite fit.

And all the unnecessary negative "stupid" comments in 90% of the topics here that don't contribute in any possible way really help. NOT. :yuck:

Despite the answers you're getting, I'm guessing that you are asking about the cute symbols that appear at the end of messages on TOTV. If so, when you
write a post or respond to a post on TOTV there is a box that pops up to the right of the message box that shows what they call Smilies. If you put your cursor over any of those symbols, it says what it is. If you click on More at the bottom of that box another small pop-up will appear listing all available Smilies and what they are. To include one in your message just click on the one you want.

A poster removes the contents of a post.

I wondered myself what /// meant. There is one poster here that seems to respond to all posts with ///
Lol

goldseekur 08-07-2022 06:46 AM

Thank you so much, Orange Blossom Baby, for the straight answer. Obviously got a lot of "smart" remarks too.

I just wanted to have a couple of the symbols clarified for me and I could not fine the answer anywhere else, so thank you again OBB.

auntbarbie 08-07-2022 07:40 AM

From left to right: like, love, care, laugh, wow, sad, angry. These are the meanings of the symbols at bottom of a post.

dadcat 08-07-2022 08:43 AM

Finally a person who is not a horse’s ass answers the question in a polite and explanatory manner. Thank you for that.

Interesting. I don't have half of those options you listed and never have. "Repost on Facebook" really ?? LOL That's important. Facebook rules the world (sadly).


This is all I see (maybe because I refuse to use the "new version" of the forum that they have said for years that this one "will be disabled at any time."

The facebook button links to an inactive app. So - non-functional.

I have no use for it but my point was I don't have that "feature." Curious as to why.

Oh - it's what you thought - the old version didn't have those utilities.

Your comment is very informative, thank you, Sir;
I recommend you go visit Facebook or Twitter to understand what "unnecessary negative comments" really mean. :wave:
