they like right to left instead of left to right?

sounds right

perhaps the writers are Jewish?

hello, btw.

or arabic.

i.e. they read from right to left?

wow

instant messenger right in here

yeah, I guess they're middle eastern or whatnot

lol yeah plurk is like lots of permanently timeline based instant messaging windows

the way to keep track of them I think is by clicking on "responded plurks" which brings up...

ok, that clarifies

thanks

ones you've written in

I see...

and the ones with new responses have the number of responses in bold type

are you using the mobile or the web version?

web

bold print, ok

ah on the web version the ones with new responses are lit up pink

ok, I see now

sorry I'm confusing you as I was describing the mobile version

well, bold or pink they still make it easier to see

can you see the tabs "All Plurks", "My Plurks", "Private" and "Responded"

oh yeah!

in grey bottom right of the timeline?

these are dead useful for filtering out content

click on responded and it will show all the plurks you have written in before

yes, I did that and it helped a lot

looks much less confusing now

My Plurks are the ones you started, i.e. wrote the first comment on

once you get the hang of it you can skim through 200 new responses in 30 minutes or less.

those tabs are especially useful if you are logging on after a few hours. Will help you sift through what everyone has said

Private are the ones that were sent especially to you or and not everyone

we try to keep all of the song posts under the Private Tab, so they are easier to skim through when you first log in

but these can be a private group of people too like mass private ones

oh, ok

what do you mean by song posts?

ones about songs

?

on the 61.

yes The usually say "PB" ahead of them for "pleasebump

of course, if you have your privacy setting at friends only then you can't send a "private" plurk because they all are.

or plurk bump

they just aren't labeled as such.

ok

the privacy settings are too confusing to get into at present

I think it's set so anyone can plurk

yes, that is the normal setting

this is pretty cool

now we don't have to be a member of only one group

I wonder if Boltac and his radio bump militia are on here

I never knew PB meant "please bump"!

I can't guarantee that's what it means. There was a giant 600 post plurk on it. People writing things PB could stand for

it would be nice if we could get sam and james to go back to calling it bumping

we all do

I think Plurk Bump is more accuate

it's meant to replace the boxes you used to have to suggest songs to friends

shit this thing is no good for your sleep patterns is it?

i think it stands for plurkbox, after the late lamented tuneboxes of t61.

I think. You can't necessarily trust me on this. Alicson and Huliwuxian both know better. And probably the Mathman

see, Mathman's explanation is mine, but simpler. Listen to him. Ignore me

ooh you're all friendly with them aren't you?! "Sam" and "James" eh?? Wink wink!

lol

I like to make use of their feedback tab

creep...

lol

ok...I didn't say that

shame they don't like to use theirs eh?

no kidding!

lolol

lmao hmmmm their "feedback ""tabs"" eh?? mmmm? Suits you....

never had a piece of her feedback directly responded to. She has only made "polite suggestions" wrapped in flattery that were later

enacted... without responding to her

lolol

I'm sure they LURRVE you using their hmmm "feedback tabs"

is that the trick, flattery?

I only get responses from James for things like "Nice catch on (x) song" or "Have you heard this artist?"

I wanted to know how some artists had "buy" tabs on some songs - never got an answer

I wanted to know how some artists had "buy" tabs on some songs - never got an answer

ooh becky aren't you lucky!

figures

I never got nothin!

flattery is definitely the key

I should have called myself "Sandra" or "Lovemuffin" or something else feminine

yes. fluff up their egos a bit. People are more responsive to compliments so say something nice and THEN get down to business

it is sad, but alchemorph is probably right. He probably only responds because I am a female around his age and in the same state

i always condemn them with excruciating politeness. i have had a couple of responses.

in one james told me that 4 hours wasn't a fair trial of the heart beta. in another sam told me there really was a problem with something.

hey becky you might have hit on something there!

lol "condemn them with excrutiating politeness" lolol

batface89 almost got him to meet up for coffee while she was in SF. That was a fun night She found him in the phonebook

yes mathman you should first have your brain wiped of all memory of the old system before trying the new

SF is that Stereofame?

women go for that power type thing don't they...

san francisco

i gave it another 26 hours over the course of three days before rejecting it until coerced into going back.

yes San Francisco sorry to confuse you
