Status Updates - What Are They For?

[seatkid]

I dont know the purpose of the Status Updates which you see on the RH side on some screens. I assume they are for one off comments such as "Going on holiday for 2 weeks, be back xx/xx/xx". i.e. for information and not for discussion.

 

I generally never look at them, but I notice a lot of newbees post technical questions there expecting answers, and it never dawns upon them to start a topic. Not only do we lose new members but they dont get an answer (which they could probably find anyway if they used search)

 

Dont know what can be done about this as Glen seems to have vanished for good, but maybe the Mods can think of something?

hi m8,think its something to do with TWITFACE or something like that :D:wacko:

 

set up by admin no doubt and afaik not something mods can alter.

Vanished ?? Not quite, still around but very busy with work, I only come on if there is a problem.

 

 

I have disabled the status section from the side menu to see if that is less confusing to users.

 

Cheers
