oh oh, another peeve. We did this once before and boy did that thread get plenty of replies but didn't change the way it is.

I think we have a link on YouTube videos though don't we

The ones that veer off sometimes become the best threads.

Yeah, someone asked about DDP Yoga the other day. I didn't get a chance to reply right away and now I can't find it. "DDP" is too short for a search.

I, too, get frustrated when folks don't post a link. The thread will be something like, "Best Fitness DVD Sale Ever!!!!" and then no link.

I read VF by clicking on 'New Posts' every time I come here. That at least tells me what new threads have been started or which threads have replies since the last time I was here. I've never read VF any other way.

I get frustrated when people don't post links, too. Collage has a new workout! Great. I'll just go to Collage, do a search, scroll through a list and find it.

Also, before I start a thread, I do a search to make sure there isn't already a thread on that subject - for example, if I see on Facebook that one of the instructors is filiming a new workout, I don't assume I'm the only person who knows this and wants to share that info. Sometimes people post at the same time, though, and sometimes the first thread isn't found when I search. The moderators can merge threads if they're reported (via that little Report Post icon that I don't think a lot of people are aware of).

That's the way I've always done it too, Joni. Saves a lot of time that way. It wasn't always this fast or easy though.

That's how I read it also and decide if I want to open it or not.

I thought the report post was for bad stuff.

I also thought the moderators would see like posts and combine, but.... Like when two people begin a share the wealth.. Or when someone posts in an old share the wealth.... Don't happen.

I was a moderator for a long time, and it's impossible to see all the posts. When you report a post, there's a message block to complete. It doesn't just get reported with no explanation. You can report your own posts when you post twice by mistake, for example, and ask a moderator to delete it.

Oh, I've just been deleting the or most people know when we are trapped in the dup-zone. Lol.

I think most of VHF has been pleasurable even when people have a difference reference point.

I read it because it keeps me motivated to exercise for life.

I've been lurking at VF a very long time but no longer read all the threads, like everyone just said. I haven't been a member all that time.

I don't post much lol. No one ever answers me.

I love the Leslie threads.

Joni O · 12-02-12, 07:54 PM

Hi Harantwanders! Now you can say someone answered you!
