judycaret Holy cow, Elaine, I hope you're okay. I was attacked by a dog 2 years ago and I'm still skittish around them. The stun gun bothers me because the implication is that you need to take action; I think the dog owner needs to be responsible for his pet. I went the rounds with Animal Control and was not happy with the outcome. I seriously hope you're ok...See More

Judy2/CA The dog owner gave you a stun gun to protect yourself from his dog? Unbelievable! Is the dog not contained in his yard? I would be reporting him to Animal Control and taking him to small claims court. No way would I take the stun gun. My 2 cents!

Gone for a few days and POW, big changes at Tnet. This sure looks nice, but we'll see about using it, won't we?

Seeing the number of posts on a thread

Dear Bob, It's a big improvement that we can see the number of responses on a thread when we open the first post. Thank you.

I am going to sound fussy now, but is there any way you can make us able to see that on the initial topic list, or we still have to reopen each post to see if there have been more responses?

Thank you for al...See More

Novel I sort the board according to Topic List. You cannot see from the lst how many posts there are on any one thread until you open the first post. I was wondering if it would be possible to see the number of posts on the Topic List BEFORE opening a post. This is not a big deal though, Bob. I do not mean to make a fuss. Thanks :-)

Bob R/CA Don't look at it as fuss, it's valuable feedback. I have considered that but didn't include it, because that list is very concise and adding that would probably clutter the output. I'll look at the layout when I get a chance and see if I can add it some way that doesn't impact the aesthetics.....

Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won't make us happier.

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Wednesday

I ride my bike to spinning class. It had a lot of interval and resistance training plus it was like a sauna in there. Riding home felt like a cooling shower compared to class. I got caught in a conversation at the end of cool down so I ended up with 19.4 miles.

I am trying to decide which pool to take the grandkids to after my nap. ha

Elaine/ret/IN Ah, men52, I'm chuckling about the difficult decisions of a retiree. Though, you're not really retired, are you, Gram? 19.4!!

jrod Dang it! Just typed my workout data and poof, it disappeared. I did Monday's and today's weight training workouts and increased weight on most.

Keep moving!

First, I love the new format, but I foresee a potentially large issue with requiring forced logging to respond. Let's say there is an issue which you wish to have fellow teachers advice, view points or suggestions. Those teachers ask you a question. You cannot respond to that question without giving up your anonymity.

See the examples... <...See More

Keith OP here, I'm sure you can tell with my IP. I'm completely in agreement with what you said about encouraging posting while signed in, however, I have a strong feeling people are going to create multiple accounts for times when they wish to be somewhat anonymous should they feel the need to do so. I do applaud the encouraged signing in as it does ten...See More

Bob R/CA Thanks for joining Keith - add an avatar and give a little life to the place. :o)

I don't have a problem with people getting multiple accounts, if they have extra email addresses. That seems like a useful approach not just here, but anywhere that requires registration.

On that issue, not only do all of the most popular websites re...See More

New format?

by flacka

Jun 21, 2017

When I open up the chat board I see each post in its entirety. Is this the new format? I miss seeing a list of the posts that I can peruse and open only the ones that interest me.
