Oh, good grief...Some days I am such a n00b...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I just figured out how to know when I have a PM waiting...

I leave my inbox for my Outlook Express turned on...

And it dings when that announcement shows up ...

I am an idiot!

:dunce:


That is all.

You may now resume your "normal" Lounge activities.

1. Nope, not a n00b, not an idiot!

Now you know!

:D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. ....

:hug:

Thanks, sweetie...

[bridgit]

2. "PM waiting"!? Geez, I'm so out of it I don't even know what that is...

:cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear bridgit...

Let me rephrase...

You know when someone sends you a PM...

You get a notice via email...

I just realized that if I leave the window to my email open, a little chime tells me when there's an email waiting...

And one possible thing that could trigger that is a PM!

How about that?

You are not out of it, sweetie!

:hug:

[bridgit]

5. Oooooh, I got'cha, through your OE!

;) i appreciate it but this is still me though----------->:dunce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. I'm glad you got it!

OE? What's that? :blush:

And no, you are NOT this: :dunce:

You are a smart and terrific woman, whom I respect!

:hug:

[bridgit]

7. Outlook Express, that's how I get my little 'bling-bling' notices. Then I look to see...

what the heck they are, though I have to have my Outlook open, or 'up' I think it is :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Outlook Express, of course!

I have the same...

I leave it collapsed down at the bottom of the screen...it still dings!

And after the ding, I can open it to see what's arrived!

I've been on DU for three years...you'd think I'd have thought this before!

:hug:

[bridgit]

10. Yep, the little ding thing is when Bill Gates tells me to check my little thingah'ma'jig...

:blush: :loveya:

[jobycom]

9. Thanks. If I ever get where I expect anyone to PM me, I'll remember that!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear jobycom!

You're welcome!

I don't always expect them, but I do get a fair number, depending on what's going on...

I think I'll just leave it open all the time!

Oh, BTW, the new version of DU...3.0, I think...PM's will be immediately visible on every page, or so Skinner indicated...

I asked him about that, specifically...

:hug:

[jobycom]

12. Well of course you get PMs! You're everyone's favorite thing about DU!

I know, I did the poll. :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My god, jobycom!

You still remember that poll???

I do too!

I even bookmarked it, it meant so much to me...

And I sure as hell was a n00b then!

That was back in the spring of 2005!

You are a sweetheart, and no mistake...

:hug:

[jobycom]

14. Good God! 2005?

I have been here way too long! :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Yup, 2005...

And NO, you have not been here too long, silly!

You are one of my connections to my past...

:hug:

[madinmaryland]

16. I'll go back to posting inane stuff.

:sad:

Apparently that's all i and my click can do.

:cry:

17. My Dear CaliforniaPeggy...

You are not an idiot. As I tell my children, "never verbalize a negative." Silly girl.:silly: :crazy: :spank: :yourock:
