Raining Strawberry Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hi everyone! I'm new here, am figuring out how to manuever around the site as a (partial?) user... I think I'm doing alirhgt so far?Anyway, I'm glad to be here! And glad that I found this page of other newbies introducing themselves. Still kind of feel as though I've stepped out of the closet though... I'd love to meet you! If you have any questions just let me know! Link to comment

The Mute Poet Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Welcome, welcome, Raining Strawberry! I'm sure you'll love it here, and be sure to give the staff a good shouting if you run into any problems on your forum travels. I'm actually dying to know if there's any sort of story behind your screename - or if it's just raw creative genius... Link to comment

Raining Strawberry Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Aw thanks! Haha yeah, there's kind of a story behind the name. I became strawberry-obsessed after seeing "Across the Universe", and tend to use them to represent my artistic/reclusive side (mood depending). And I loooove the rain, so the idea of a bunch of strawberries raining from the heavens is a pretty appealing thought to me... I'm just one of the infinite strawberries in the universe. Cheesecake? Sounds delicious. Link to comment

Raining Strawberry Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hey, thanks everyone! So far it's been good being here. I do have a question though.. on the main forum page, there are lists of topics. In the far left-hand column there are pictures of folders (on a different page I found a color code key), and in the next column over, though most are empty, a few have hearts, smiley faces, or warning signs (post icons I think). What exactly do they mean? Does anything dictate whether or not you should use one? Link to comment

What exactly do they mean? Does anything dictate whether or not you should use one?I'm not quite sure which main page you mean, but if you mean the index, they have topics such as General Discussion, Off Topic, etc. If you scroll to the very bottom, you'll see board statistics, and they will show on the very left different icons such as a calendar or people.However, I think you mean going into a page, such as if you clicked into Off Topic. On the left would be a folder, and they are either red, blue, purple, etc. If you scroll all the way down, there is a key. For instance, if a topic has a purple folder, it is a poll.The next column occasionally has a few smiley faces, emoticons, hearts, question marks, etc. These can be choosen when you create a new topic, and they are just for fun. They are not neccesary and generally are there since a. they are fun or b. they fit the topic. It doesn't neccesarily dictate anything.Also, if you have more website questions, feel free to post them in Website Support! Hope that helps, and if I'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me. :] Link to comment

Ohh man, I'll definitely be dropping by Website Support to see if I've missed any other details. The Forum is much larger than I realized.ah! i love your username! that movie is the best in trhe WORRLLLLDDDDD! Thanks! Across the Universe was amazing! It wasn't just any old Beatles-inspired movie, either... if you know their general history, you can see how the movie's script is parallel, and they added a lot of fun details for Beatles fanatics to pick up. Very well done. I know that Mamma Mia was made using ABBA songs... is it as good? Have yet to see that one. Link to comment
