Title: Whats a WALL?
Post by: Old Greenhorn on February 10, 2019, 09:24:31 AM
I went to my profile to update my searchable location because google maps was only showing half my town and placing me on the wrong side of the tracks, so to speak (in the high dollar district).
 Anyway, I saw this 'wall' thing and have no idea what it is, or see how to access it. How does that work and what is it for. I have seen no posts on any other user's walls either, except for Jeff. Is it just a moderator thing? Or is it something that is just not used by the forum members. Just curious.

Good question, and I really don't know either.  The only place I have seen anything on a wall is some "graffiti" that Jeff (as one of them called it) had put on Postons wall when that feature first came out.  I looked around at others too and never saw more so was not sure what it does.

Basically thats what it is, a place to leave graffiti, but the rules of the forum still apply to content. Actually, it was part of another modification that I really could not separate without major technical difficulty, so there it is.

OK, so it is seldom used, but if one found a use for it, how would one use it? I don't see any access to it.

If you click on someones profile, and then click on their wall link, you are offered with a box to leave that member a message on their wall. Everyone can see what you leave, It is only private past the members.

Well, I don't want to sound like I am beating this to death, but I don't see that box to leave a message. It's not there and I really looked. This is actually what prompted the original question. As an admn you may see it, but as a user I do not. Still, no big deal, was just curious. Admins are busy enough, I didn't mean to use up your time like this.

You can also write on your own wall.

Sorry Jeff, I must be a dolt, but I can find no box, button, or menu item to allow this, even on my own wall.

This is what I see when I click on my wall.

It is gratifying to know that I did not miss it. Thank you for taking the time. I don't know how you did that fancy type stuff, but no matter. I just thought I was missing how that thing Feature worked. I had thought it was a place somebody could leave a story or something, but now I see there is a short character limit which explains the purpose a little better. Kind of like tacking a note on a neighbors front door.
