There are time stamps on private messages just hover on it and you'll see it.

But not on posts...

@RavenCT My use of the site is primarily on Android with the app, there is no hovering. I also attempted to confirm your claim via chrome on windows, it doesn't seem to matter what I point to in a message dialog, nothing pops up. If I view the page source I can see that timestamps exist, just not visible through normal use.

@ShawnHicks You are right the app can be entirely different. I stopped using it even has n my phone and log onto n through Google. I just find it works better?

@ShawnHicks in messages just press the top left of the message box and the date/time appears in the bottom left. What would be great is to have a button that will open the date time on every message at the same time. We used to have an app specific group for things like this but it was not supported and eventually stolen and turned into non nude sexy photos or something equally puerile. There is nothing in the browser that I need that is not in the app and you can always open your account through a browser on the phone. For the last year I have been using" Opera One Touch" which is very easy to set up and intuitively use.
@Admin The suggestion of a date/time switch to show on all messages rather than switch on per message each time the mtm (member to member) account is opened?

Regarding 3, as far as I know there are a Share to facebook and a Share to twitter button on every post.

@bingst Ok, Thank you.

@Flowerwall It does not happen automatically unless you clicked a button.

I do not want ANY of my posts/comments/whatever posted on Facebook.

@FearlessFly Me neither.

@FearlessFly But nobody would send them to Facebook other than you. What is the fear about?

@itsmedammit
Is this fear not unfounded here? Nobody is sending your information other than you with a active choice.

Regarding repost to Facebook, perhaps we need a privacy selection so only those posts that the originator wants to go some place else are available to repost.

@Lorajay Agree.

@Lorajay . . . as long as the default is opt-out

Press on the dark purple A on the top left folowed by the little vertical lines with the number alongside and the window opens onto the current statistics as in the photo:

@FrayedBear When I do that, I get the "List of Categories" -- no stats.

@FearlessFly Are you on computer or phone app?

@FrayedBear Found it on the upper right . Thanks.

One of my suggestions also Bob.

Perhaps I'm not understanding, but if there was a robust search, why repeat posts ?

@FearlessFly when you post something more than one is generated but not always and sometimes a repost is done without you doing it

@bobwjr AFAIK, cross-posting (the same post to different groups) is not disallowed. When creating a post, I try to pay attention to the "The following posts might be similar to the one you're writing" message (granted, it doesn't always work). I also comment on posts that are "dupes" in an attempt to suppress those that "fall thru the cracks".

@FearlessFly As i state different people have different interedts snd one post may not reach them. People like yourself with a huge variety of interests will get multiple notifications but sutely can self censor & not waste time looking at duplicates in other groups.

@FrayedBear I don't complain about cross-posting. I do try to suppress "dupes" in the same group.

@FearlessFly I try to delete mine, they are a pain in the rear end. The system is far better than it was in stopping them. I don't know if it is Parkinson tremor or an electronic glitch/ having to small a gap for double clicking.

@bobwjr That happens on my tablet but not my computer. There seems to be a slight delay. In my tablet I have hit post accidently more than once and had to delete copies of my post. No a big problem actually simply check the post to see if it is repeated.

This has happened to me as well. Although, I thought maybe someone who I have blocked (or has me blocked) might have commented first.

Or the comment was left by someone you blocked or blocked you

Computer or smartphone?
Have you tried "Opera One Touch"?

@FrayedBear Laptop, and I don't know what that is.

@Paul4747 Opera One Touch is one of the Opera (open source) family of browsers available on Android smartphones. I used to have Opera on my computers so presume that there is a Windows version for use on laptops. My alologies for having missing that you mention that you are using a laptop. [blogs.opera.com]

@FrayedBear I didn't mention "laptop" originally, I edited that line in after your question. No need to apologize.
I almost never go to this site on my phone... it has so much less functionality there, it seems.

I really hesitate to try a different browser, every time I switch it seems to take me an hour to sey up my preferences and import everything. I'm just barely computer literate as it is. (Well, maybe more than that, but it's a case of "grudgingly" literate. I hate being computer literate.)

@Paul4747 Thanks for the explanation - I thought that I had been careless.
On literacy I found that the more that you practice the more uninformed you realise that you are. Some programs like the one touch mentioned are blindingly intuitive and as they are open source (no cost to non commercial users, backed by a huge community around the world) an obvious "give it a go & see what it is like" particularly as it was recognised around the world as an innovative program. But each to their own proclivities .
