Ask Questions To IndusLady about IL FORUMS

Thank you so much Induslady and Sunitha! I apologize for taking so long to respond - I am in college and I am preparing for finals right now. I have been so busy I have hardly been eating or sleeping! But thank you so much for welcoming me! Sunitha, I haven't met Paula Dean, but I go by her restaurant all the time! She is really popular here. I used to work the desk at a hotel here, and all of the visitors wanted to go see her! The line is always a block long outside! I am actually from Detroit, MI - I just attend college in Savannah, GA. I will be going back to Michigan when I graduate in June. If you ever visit Savannah and want to go the "Lady-n-Sons" (Paula Dean's restaurant), make sure you get a reservation and arrive there EARLY. They give you a time span for your reservation - for instance, between 1 and 3 - and if you're not there when hey call your name, you're out of luck. I hear it's really nice though

Dear Teja,

On behalf of Malathy , here is how you enable your PM.
Click the User CP on the purple bar on top of the IL page. Then on the left , click on the Edit Options link. When the edit options page opens up, then scroll down and check the box next to Enable PM . Save your changes.
Hope this helps

Hi Teja,

Looking at your screen, you have checked the box next to the one that says receive messages only from buddies and moderators. So if me or one of the moderators send you a PM you will receive it. But if any other member trys to send you one , it will come back saying that your PM is not enabled. So go and uncheck only that box. and then save. You should get PMs from all IL members then.

Dear Vandhana,

Finally I got it . I thought if I enable the box I could get the messages from all buddies n moderators.But haven't read that it is limited to only my wish list.. Anyways I understood the mistake that I have done...

for such a detailed explanation n helped me out....

Hi Malathi,

I don't like the changes in layout, we have to go to individual thread to see what's going on. I prefer old layout.

Hi Cheer,

I appreciate your quick feedback.

Dear members,

The reasons for removing the display of 'last post' from the forum main page is because many members tend to notice only the latest of the latest post that displays as last post in the main page. If there had been multiple new posts within a forum/sub-forum since the last visit, it is going unnoticed.

With increase in the membership and with several discussions going on, we would like to get your attention to maximum number of discussions. That way we can reduce the number of threads left unnoticed without responses and those who started the thread will also not get upset. Sometime it also leads to duplication of threads if the original threads have gone unnoticed.

So, why not give a try to this new layout???

Now, here are some easy ways to quickly check all new posts since your last login...
1. Forums with this icon in the left indicates there are new posts in it. You may choose to get in into those forums that are your favorites and you will see all threads with new posts listed on top in bold.

2. Clicking on the menu 'New Posts' (5th one from the left on the purple menu bar) will list you all the threads that has new posts since your last visit.

how to change the name as i would like to change my name n keep nick name.help me pls.

Hi Malathi,

I understand ur point, but this one is really very confusing & time consuming too. Lots of time we use to visit more then 3 times a day & already aware wht's going on but by this we have to open individual thread for particular post , as far as i know. It does not help & even most of mbrs finds it more confusing & time consuming. Plz consider this. Since u made changes i felt irritating
